“The Chair”

Laughter replaced with silence; “the chair” stands empty in a room.

Delicate soft scents remain; tears withheld no more to refrain.

Silence lingers; the laughter is gone, “the chair” stands empty…

And ALONE

I have an old chair that was my great grandmothers. It has her scent...dusting powder and her memories. There are times when it rocks in the twilight of the morning and no one is there.
It has love rocking the memories.
Love and blessings.
Susan
