Rosy Cheeks
~I dont know...what happened...~
~I would run along the river bank and catch frogs, tagpoles, and the tiniest of fishes in my hope jars~
~The big fish that no one ever saw only hear would splash in the water when i would walk along the bridge~
~I would lightly step on the cobble road up to the cosy cottage between the trees~
~The smell of the earth, dogs and the wet stones enriched a childs senses just as much as a child dreams~
~We would sit on the softest of rugs in the warmest of rooms and listen to your soft voice and the dim clatter of tea cups~
~Pixie would jump up and be excited and i would pet her fur that was like a dandelion~
~Buster would sit in the chair, his chair, and would growl at everyone if you got near the chair, his son was beautiful and kept us happy for many years~
~The trampoline under the apple tree would be covered in fruit and would jump with me in delight~
~I would visit the young ones who would make tiny yelps and wriggles against my feet with ocean sized plates filled with mixed sweet milk~
~It was bliss, it was unreal, it was like all a dream that i took for granted as a child would~
~You gave us presents and friends that we will always treasure, im sorry i did'nt do much or enough~
~You make me feel beautiful and young again and that how much of me is because of you~
~I still remember the day i got the news like it happened a second ago, it just got worse from there somehow~
~I still wear pretty girl dresses and feel small like a doll to everything, it did'nt matter that my hips got wider or that i got taller and thin like a tree~
~I still remember everything and always will no matter what, where, who, see, hear, feel, taste, smell, sense, in life as me~
...I just read what i wrote and wept...
(i wrote this last year about a time and place i cant have back)

ReplyDeleteIm glad that you found it beautiful thats a huge compliment.
It was mostly about when i would visit my Gran when i was very young. The words are about where she lived and what i experienced there. It was a truley wonderful time and place in my life.
