History in My Hands

Wearing my carefree
with the runaway fringe
Feeling the fresh air
steal me
from a madhouse
of blood sucking
dust bunnies
and zombifying
wheretoputits

Escaping to a treasured place
of rings and things
that sparkled greats and grands
And now my eyes behold
and finger fit
a rose gold wedding band
Holding history in my hands
things in original
back in the day boxes
Playing in my
passed down privileged
like a kid
in oversized shoes

Sad words in a way, but the treasures you are finding are blessings and a nudge toward memories of yesteryear.

kinda felt like I was playing dress up
back in the day Jerry. Pretty cool. Thanks for stopping by my friend
