…it’s an old photograph tucked away in a myriad folds
and yet every once in a while she stares at the gurgling laughter
and the strength of the hold
…she recalls the love and the warmth of a home
much before the big world, swallowed her whole
….a solitary moment captured in a sepia print
from days long ago
….and now when the storms rage and sometimes when the lights wane
against the flicker of candle light
….arises a smile, reminiscent of the little girl
that she used to know

I was recently reading about the role of memory, and its connection to consciousness… and then I find this… a memory that seems to sustain..
….yes it does…anything that provides a sense of comfort and warmth prevails🌷
beautifully spun, delicately too!
