What a personal, tender writing. The imagery in this feels beautiful and private. I like especially "not to be spent on frivolous whims." Lovely, Pat. ~~ Diana

Pat, Certain words take us there and closing words end it. Very well
written.

A very lyrical way of storing memories and holding them close until needed.

the theme of any poem - from
a can of beans in tomato sauce to
the fall of Troy - is always secondary to me
(although some themes are more interesting
than others, i admit); what really does it for me
is the writing, the way words are chosen and handled,
and here, Pat, words are chosen and delivered so well
i sit up and pay full attention - the most interesting poem
in a while

kudos!

Oh, great this is. No words wasted. Powerful message. Reconnection with one's roots or sources of inspiration, and lyrical. Everything a story poem should be.

Wonderful. Last two lines a perfect ending to the end of what was. Saving those "gold-dusted tears" for when truly needed, like when honest and true footsteps reopen your door.
