I Recall Curtains

Curtains, at Grandma’s house,
hide the inner sanctum -
memories remodeled.
—Quote by Poet

I Recall Curtains

Loveliness is lace; I recall curtains.
Village without curtains; and lace.

One bow on a pine, lopsided star.
Intricate lace is snow white.

Many pines in the mountain skies,
the chimney and post office spire

pointing at the twinkling stars, all
hover over the curtainless village.

Rocking horse and spinning top, highlight 
the two-storied “Toys and Games.”

I wonder who lives upstairs at the “Bakery.”
Such a teeny tiny village offering, yet

the daintiness embellishes a Winter wall;
Loveliness is lace; I recall curtains.

Curtains give beauty to any room. Now I have no curtains, but Lilian loved them.
