dusty drawers
cobwebbed closets
yellowed papers
dogeared tomes
tearing away
distant past
half filled diaries
unfinished poems
ruffling of notes
a bout of sneeze
a dried up leaf
bleached
veined
rumpled sheets
.....a hasty scrawl
a teardrop perhaps
fudged the ink
yet legible
"you've made my day"
just those words
too far away
fogged in time
yet.....
they spilled
a thousand years....
once again
a bout of sneeze
running nose
a taste of salt
on the tongue
oh! this dust
cobwebs
memories
too many to handle
too much to bear
Shared with Poets And Storytellers United
