roaming into the past - Ephemera
I like roaming thrift stores
full of worthless things
lost treasures that I can hold
within my hands and mind
capturing a time gone
for a pretty hand painted cup
a collectible or a relic from the past
I love the old dishes
what stories they could tell
I imagine their history
oh, I could write a poem about old dishes
things from times long passed
inspire me to hold a treasure for a moment
I do not have to own it
to capture it with my thoughts and pen
but oh dear the vintage jewelry is my weakness
how can I touch it with my hand
and not own it, how, and I always wonder who did
a visit to the thrift store is quite inspiring
but I best write it down because it is fleeting
