Rocking Chair

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

Maurice Rigoler Date: 8/7/2015 12:00:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 8/7/2015 1:01:00 PM 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
