Sunday with my Father and Mother

a sudden visit sparks
cups of tea
chatter and remembrance

times of growth & change
spindles of familia
breathe anew

i am borne on a sunday
under a crescent shaped star
and what was once bright

has become faded
yet nothing is
jaded nor unkempt

i am my own keeper
yes, blood is thickened
by the chosen words

where written
bred out of conversational life
we have come this far

it is family, right

    I'm new to your site...I'm glad I found your poetry.

    Tender and lovely, much like the Scribe who penned it. Tell 'em both they've done quite well, Gill...for you are the proof of it.

    Yes, and you have risen out of your family to be a very bright star. Very good writing.
