Old Sunlight

Summary:
I hope this speaks for itself, but if it doesn't just be sure it's not a happy scribble & is underpinned by recollections of deep reflection and loss ..

Old Sunlight

Time, it did, for sure stand

   still there ..

The mirrors well and truly

cracked,

with dead flowers laid upon

the empty

window sill there and tired

old sunlight

straining through torn net

curtains while a

single dust mote pirouettes

   then dies there ..

The same old photographs

with yellow

and frayed edges, save long

forgotten

   half false smiles and blushes ..

A champagne flute

   with its broken stem there ..

Empty jam-jars,

drowned paint brushes each

sat in the grate,

where cold, long dead ashes

are celebrated ..

But do we really want to go

  back there ..

It’s a very simple question

   begging answers ..

While old sunlight plays on

the long stilled

mantle-clock there and then

   it surely falters ..

Yes time, it does, for sure,

   stand still there ..

Such moments locked away

tho not forgotten,

   always grateful to old sunlight ..
