*Image of Hallmark Channel by Giphy. Chimed Upper Room Chimed new day shines...eagerly corrects an upper room looks, An attic improving rapidly...promotes roams of diligence, Lacks found bordered leathered album...trapped topped a cornered desk. Cutting edge mounts an Everest...Grand Canyon grooves a pass, Emptying a corridor...grants patience traces of sweat caught brow, Weighty whatnots slothfully shift...relief of prized treasure. Lives confined--stilled in a photograph...bound neath grained-hewn film, Reviving breaths aids wiping palms...adjusting dust rules idle air, Widen pupil's gaze...proffers freedom to locked memories. A leisurely dance of fingers...entertaining a page, Courses from staging consequences...flips driftingly e'er so oft, Cherished persevered poignant times...plus occasional laughs. Age feebly trades a gentle glance...to sights of swept-up youth, Niagara Falls revisit eyes...interlude recalls Wordsworth, Rousseau swells the lulls...till Longfellow's maiden turns a page. A soothing thoroughness applied...o'er sovereignty once claimed, Delighting a soul wanting remembrance...effervescence inched rise, Bestilled processing images...icons pageants the heart. Strokes into yesterdays...fulfill a distant emptiness, Once existed in certainty...consequently in dreams of need, Now physically held...persuades rising tips of a mouth. 2020 July 30 *2nd Place* Dusty Old Memories ~~Constance La France: Judged 2020 August 06
