Grandma’s On Holiday
Friday, May 25, 2007
My Grandma passed away today.
Rather than muddle everything with new words, I’ll recall some that most probably haven’t read or at least comprehended. I wrote this when Granny left us years ago. I got to talk to her first, which I wish I’d managed with Grandma. The original is here.
HAH
The light grows closer
yet its powers’ dark
side cannot touch her
all along, the stark
images others create
condemn her
I talked to the one
of whom I now speak
she sees their dark tones
and to me did sneak
smiles through the black phone
begone, thoughts presown
“Hah!” I laughed aloud
she thought it was her
little joke just now
an unheard whisper
to her do I avow
“that and much more, now.”
