Like cold water flowing Over mossy stones, Memories of family Can be hard to hear Over noises from the Day to day. Their quiet whispered Cadence cascading in Small rivulets of thought, Half remembered and Long left undisturbed, Have grown layers Of protection against Abrasive reality. Things were larger then… Houses, people, places. Hurts were healed with A simple kiss, As days flooded with sunshine, Overflowed the banks of time. Reaching with outstretched fingers To touch what once was, But is no more… I know that memories of family, Like water flowing over mossy stones, Are impossible to hold Without feeling the chill Of winter. |

You write very well, Ron. This one feels like a soft-focus black & white portrait within a Victorian frame, begging for acknowledgement and a moment in the spotlight... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
