A Picture

Here you are again… Your photo staring at me Unexpected to find Making me wish, I was blind A rumble of feelings Stir like loud thunder Shaking my soul From broken roots, of family ties The memories crash, Like shattered glass Piercing my soul As I plod through the past Into the present moment All the while, the picture haunts Like a ghost that just returned But in reality, never leaves Heidi Sands 6/3/18
