A Picture Past

A Picture Past
Sunlight on the morning of my happiness
stirs the fleeting golden memories
of fireflies and fairy wings
that a child glimpses in her grandmothers eyes

clouds of bitter fog
draw a veil over the shadowed demise
of that magical wonder which she once was
And bury deep in thoughts of grief

A proud and fierce belonging
are ties that bind in innocence made
til strings are wrenched in pieces
and memories blown like butterfly kisses

On the winter winds of neglected age
a flight of fancy time moves on
to treasure a new loved one
and a great grand daughter is the newly beguiled
