My dream is taking me back- back to my old home, the room that was mine is now faded in time; torn curtains are blowing in the wind while I roam. In the open window- I hesitate then climb, I stand silent in the stillness with reflection; the room that was mine is now faded in time. Such sweet memories I hold to my heart with affection, I can hear the laughter of grandma and mother; I stand silent in the stillness with reflection. Once that floor was shiny where I played with brother, all my dollies used to wait on my bed for me; I can hear the laughter of grandma and mother. Beyond those tattered curtains flowers I would see, I think those days in this home were my very best; all my dollies used to wait on my bed for me. I feel sleepy- so lay down in my old nest, my dream is taking me back- back to my old home; I think my days in this home were my very best, torn curtains are blowing in the wind while I roam. ___________________ August 25, 2017 Poetry/Terzanelle/Torn Curtains Blowing Copyright Protected, ID 17-933-613-0 All Rights Reserved.

This took me back to my own room and later on white organdy curtains blowing over our first bedroom. Loved it!
