Hello said the woman With silvered streaks Scattered on aging strands Framing her delicate face. Aren’t you the blue eyed child Who would not stop singing No matter where she was, No matter what they said or did? Wait. WAIT. You remind me of that hungry teen Asleep with a six stringed friend Balanced on her belly, moving to the beat Of her own rise and fall rise and fall rise and fall. WAIT. Wait. Wasn’t that you who saw God like a dervish Whirling a golden pool of crackling power, Touching all of life? You look so familiar. Will you sing? she asked. Amazing Grace floated up like mist. Tears flowed down Like streams in the hills. The woman kissed two fingers, Pressed them to the nose, holding steady there In the glass, whispering I remember. Inspired by a Tweetspeak Poetry poetry prompt: Things Inivisble.
