Familiar Tunes

Familiar Tunes Wait ‘til it’s time Don’t rush it Stay a while Ruffle the sheets and wiggle your toes A dark horse running through the fields Into the woods A dog chasing a frisbee through forest trees Birds flying high above in glee Find and connect pieces in the room Wander upon familiar tunes The scent of sweet perfume The train is approaching Headed somewhere Hop on and claim a chair Sidewalk chalk Sprinklers And bubbles everywhere They do not fear The other realm They’re wild, vivid and alive Those that died With whom I shared a house Reaching out into the clouds A mighty strength revived A smile A warm embrace A vision upon a face Patterns, continuity I know what I see No word can describe No breath can breathe The calm comfort Of life slipping away from me Marckincia Jean Free verse 09/04/19
