A “worthy”-life everything!

Cold-fog

Christmas!-everyday!?---in
memory?…easy!---in real-time?...easier! (by-choice)
Early-winter
frost embraces-fully high upper-branches of the bare,
old
elm–tree in the side yard between the rock-house where Grandma
and
Grandpa lived when I was just a kid and
the Maeystown Creek which
still
flows a frothy-churn caressing her rock-bottom interspersed with myriad tumbles
of
miniature crystal-waterfalls as she relentlessly meanders westward to the
Mississippi.
Obfuscating
frozen-fog hugging-close the high, bare tree-limbs is captured in a
A
5” X 7” pen-and-ink drawing immortalizes the stone-house, creek and bridge.
The
stark black & white daguerreotype-image captures the subtle home-ambiance
of
a by-gone era; it hangs in our house with honor
and respect deserving of Family!
Creativity-tribute
to the artist preserves true-emotion: Faith! Family! Freedom!
Comfort-warm
devotion on yonder whisper-wind imagery by Wip Wippermann
In
my “often”-visits to the village-town, a plethora-of-memories offers a
satiated-spirit
symphony of melodious Love!-tones
sung by a pure-soul.
A
cold northern-chill errant-wind challenges my heavy winter hooded-parka
as
I huddle-tight against the onslaught while hovering across the narrow-lane in
search
of some-reminder, a shadow on the old-house frosted-window, perhaps,
Dear
Grandma-Rose, a Saint in life and
angel in-heaven, or Grandpa-Edwin at
the
kitchen-table on a Sunday anticipating the weekly-arrival of sweet-Family!
And---within
that expectation of my-fantasy…the chill feels suddenly…cozy!
A-“They
don’t live here, anymore!”-reality hinders-not my-Love! found in a
Fantasy-of-emotion
within this gentle-heart embracing always sacred-Family!
Know
this & most---“I love you!”…then…still,
and…always! Amen!
Thank-you!-kin! One-and-all! For Maeystown-memories
and my holy-mantra trinity:
Faith!
Family! Freedom!
and Father!
Son! & Holy Spirit!
Amen!
Merry
Christmas!
(2019) Love, Candy & Carl
