Stumbling round dusty trunks Of yellowed fiber once lovely Many a dance and twirl in time Now rotten and crumbling Cob webs spiraling upwards The lacework of forgotten space A milky coated window measures light across the powdery planks Tools once held by masters Crafters of the craft Now they lie a lifeless death In a corner of modern aftermath Postcards from the outside Boxed in dated fashion Promises of worlds long gone They pictured time's sweet passing A tarnished brass trumpet Stands witness to it all Waiting for the supple lips Of someone to call it's call Books lay wasting round the room Except for one on top For all the trillogies and mysteries It was free of dust Thick and embossed leather bound I wondered how it was spared From the harbor of dusty memories It's pages had some wear Of course.. I should have known As it was never a book of idle As the light shown bout the room I had found my Grandma's bible |

What treasures we sometimes find, tucked away in dusty attics! Betty Lou Hebert |

Attics were a wonderful place for memories. I wonder why modern builders have dispensed with them. I enjoyed your poem. Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (edited 07-15-2001).] |

You described the atic so very well that you've reminded me that I need to cleen out my garage.... the problem is whenever I begin cleaning, I always get bogged down in looking at all the memories as you have described. My favorite treasure that I posses besides the Bible is my mother's wedding dress that I have managed to retain. What makes it so special is that my mother died when I was two years old. So many memories can be found in out attics. Memories that are definitely worth hanging on to. Thank you, Bob <>< |
