Browsing In An Antique Shop
On that laden shelf, perhaps a scratch or two
Yet strong and boasting of times gone by
A piece of yesterday that we can touch
A past gone,but with the present a visible tie
I find a certain longing as I putter about
To know the stories, secrets that they hold
Of men and women whose lives they touched
If these pieces had a voice, what stories told
Remembering the past a musing for a rainy day
As I touch and examine through the afternoon
Perhaps to take an old treasure home with me
And from time to time with the past commune
