AN HEIRLOOM

May we be blessed to understand 
from the moment we come out of the womb
how Mother Nature should never be thought of as a resource…
but more as treasure…

Morphing into an appealing landscape,
gathered around a table embrace. 
In the connection of family mindscape.
We find sanctuary in this precious place. 

It engulfs you and completes its task,

Dont Sell Your Heirloom

They’re free to swallow it like bitter pill,
All take it as an interposing hill,
Already, the four do, as they stand still,
At their mum glaring; they could her just kill!

“You sell nothing, until I change my mind,
Though I doubt if I have change in my mind.
Anxious riches the sober casts behind;
A grave bond should noble children

An Heirloom

Your mother’s glass. The only one in the cabinet that
does  not  match  the others.  It’s  beautiful.    Purple

crystal scattered on linoleum like a layer of fine
mauve  dust.  The  first  tear  falls  from  a  thousand 

fractaled faces, glistening in the sun.

Natures Heirloom

Nature’s Heirloom

The air is so fresh at start of morning
And earth sparkles with diamanté dew
Everything looking bright and adorning
When sunshine appears to worldwide eye view
And sweet whimsical birdsong is heard too
Aromatic flowers when in full bloom
Are stupendous lit up by stars and moon
God gifted us a world that's free to roam
Nature's garden, an enchanting heirloom

Pride of Place

My heirloom- finest work of art

my mother crafted with her heart

after I drew it by a chart

on linen cloth stretched for the part

of filling in with needle- start

threads painting- happily impart

a picture scene that stands apart.

Now framed, holds pride of place so smart.

Heirloom Whispers

In the antique store
an old physician’s desk,
walnut and marble-topped,
holding the remnants of a life
of service; 
stories etched in 
wood, metal and stone.

Next to part of an old syringe,
a can of ether, half full;
it’s lid rusted shut
and a stethoscope
sporting the cracked rubber
tubing, of a bygone era.
A clock that once worked, 
a necessity for any physician
or scientist;

HEIRLOOM

Unearthliness of this endless wood of colorless shadows.
I’m encompassed by the condemnation of prison bars
in the shape of ancient bark. I’m hidden where time slows
in constant consternation of wolves and diminutive stars.
The apathy of skeleton branches mocks the reverence of red.
I’m wrapped in my great-grandmother’s heirloom - its lure I dred.
My countenance cold and pale

Earth's Heirloom

The earth is shaking and fire everywhere
The wind sounds like a trumpet in the air
Words from the mountain ablaze in the stone
Now lay in pieces with rubble and bone
Forever adrift in the veiled black space
The golden record whats left of this place

Heirloom

If for poems you have a knack
Punch them out, absent slack
For fame is just one measure
That marks a poem a treasure
So keep on gifting poems uplifting
Well deserving of preserving
Each one placed inside some album
For descendants as an heirloom.
