Vintage Remembrance

Reading...

With the sound of the Beatles from the far end of the room

Knees on the floor

Gazing up the skies

Quite near

Quite uneasy

Amusement and longing lingering

I was in a room

With cabinets safely and neatly fixed on walls

With birds chirping from beneath the skies

Leaves crawling onto the window sills

Sunlight inching its way through every space

The face of God staring at my image

And called me

a little girl

"I'll follow you everywhere"

A picture of a mother and daughters

Blending well with the euphony of wind chimes

My own, where?

Where is my own melody

When they're all coming from the jagged edges of my memory

Staying like a vanishing cheshire cat's grin (June 21,2009)
