things that well
once were.
The light in
their eyes
for a moment
flickering like a candle
then
spreading into the room
filling the space around them. Until
there is
nothing but light
and noise.
the Noise goes with the light
as if they
are joined, twins conjoined
to be separated
but only by surgery.
The light
the noise
filling more and
more space
and each time
bringing smiles
as they dance together.
Dinner time…
-
Do you gather light when you can?
-
Yes

No

So beauiful poem,
“their eyes
for a moment
flickering like a candle” – very expressive phrase!!!
Thank you! Poetry is a hobby of mine, but one that still moves me!
A similar atmosphere in my house at every opportunity to eat together, lunch or especially more often was dinner, with all the stories of my oldest daughter and her loud laugh, interspersed with Blue and Susie who meow for rations, which although not as busy as my daughter, but can make other members participate in voices.
it is a joyous cacophony at times 🙂
My fam (meaning my travel buddies composed of my sister, cousins, nephews and nieces) are a rowdy group during meal time. It is one of the reasons I never want to miss a family vacay. Because I will miss the light and the noise delight ?
we have a similar reality when it is dog dinner time at our house.
