      from vernal gardens

      a cinematic photograph

      opens

      our unlaced shoes

      soaked soiled

      reminders

      spiraling embers

      we climb these stairs

      slide down over

      railings

      he has worked for a living

      hardened his hands

      ceramic chasms

      his pipe is a wind chime

      rustic doors lead us

      his scared toolbox

      accordeons are weeping

      he stitches into leather

      bovine hides hide

      there are miracles

      risen from his devotion

      his work frock tar stained

      welding iron summoning

      fire flies swirl

      traces of timber

      tuning and urning

      the hourglass

      closer towards

      our forefathers

      he is in every tone

      I listen to the tales

      told by each sapling

      from his branch

      in this family tree

      he stares over

      edge of his monocle

      only a while

      he is wisdom

      helping me

      to pass this on

      he gave me simplicity as a key

      telling me to just be

      among these fair haired ones

      beech and birch

      have welcomed him

      he is home

      at last

      I think number 14 of 30

      • Yes R…

        That is number 14..!

        Tis a balm to my soul to read you…

        (I will be keeping track but feel free to write more than the 30 if you would like…)

        • @Cipher_O Perhaps Most likely I will do so, I keep forgetting to number the poems. These last ones are written more intuitively, in memory of my grandfathers, bright blessings R
