The embers of a twilight
Still linger on my mind,
Images cast gray shadows
Against my eyelids.
If I close them tightly
I feel suddenly swept away.
Looking through a kaleidoscope
Of memories intertwined.

Swirls and shards and pieces
Of a time from yesterday
Scattered like the dust
With-in the light.
I remember fondly
How the moments in my mind
Felt, as I slowly allow them
Access to my waking thoughts

There is one of when I was only three
My grandfather and I upon his knee
Coffee in the morning at the sturdy kitchen table
He would sneak me cookies just below.
My mother never knew

Here comes the moment that I fell from the
Bleachers at the gym
I scraped my knee and had to go home

Along floats another glimpse
Of me and my first love
Sitting talking and staring eye to eye
In my ruffled wrinkled blue prom dress.
He crushed his hand against the flowers on my chest.
As he leaned in for the kiss.

My first delight of motherhood
This crying screaming bundle
Placed upon my chest,
As I stared into the bright lights
And held her tightly….
But never felt more alone.

If allow them to follow me
I drift and shift around a sea of emotion,
Then I wake to hear the sounds of the phone
Back to work, It almost time to go home.
