Dust And Cobwebs

Dust and cobwebs

Years passed

Forgotten to time

Unassuming vessel

Buried

Garments out of style

Mementos and trinkets

Sharing the tomb

Still life memories

Black, white,

Faded color

Youthful exuberance

Ancestors

Relegated to history

Resurrected

Celluloid

Smiles and hugs

Lasting impressions

Sense of pride

Who we are

Who we were

Who we will be

Simple attic

Dirty and dark

Meaningless to others

Family heirlooms

    This poem made me suddenly sit straight from my lazy position on the chair. I loved it’s sharpness and suddenness.

      Thank you, I really appreciate it. I didn’t mean to be so stern. :)

    Things of sentimental value & memories – You can’t put a price on that.
