The wind is blowing gently; it stirs the empty chair on the wooden porch at sundown where her last breath she took .

These chairs are ubiquitous in my seaside town. Not my favorite chair to rest my posterior – unless there's a cushion. Thanks for the kind words about Mud Flats – not far from where I live. It's worse in August when the mud flats gives off a awful odor. Best to you. / M

Hi Maurice! I have never had a rocking chair, but my mother did, and it's still there, an empty yet lovely memory of her. And yes, her cushion is still on it! ~ Thank you for visiting & all the best. // paul
