In a world of long ago I find an item that brings sweet memories... |
I enter a world edged with cobwebs The patina on the silverware Is ambrosia to my soul. I move along the displays Exploring and remembering When I last saw such treasures. I spot a chamber pot in a forgotten corner And smile The memory of my grandparent's farm Comes into my mind As I reach out to rattle the lid The clanging sings A resonance that causes a giggle To erupt And memories of long ago times Fill my head Sweet times At a place I loved There is a sadness too A sweet sadness wrapping The memories and keeping them intact. I clang the lid a few times more Then move on... I move on knowing That sound will always Bring me back To a happier place and time. 27 lines. Prompt for: Jan 21, 2016 (Fyn) ▶︎ |
