I enter a world edged with cobwebs
The patina on the silverware
Is ambrosia to my soul.
I move along the displays
Exploring and remembering
When I last saw such treasures.
I spot a chamber pot in a forgotten corner
And smile
The memory of my grandparent's farm
Comes into my mind
As I reach out to rattle the lid
The clanging sings
A resonance that causes a giggle
To erupt
And memories of long ago times
Fill my head
Sweet times
At a place I loved
There is a sadness too
A sweet sadness wrapping
The memories and keeping them intact.
I clang the lid a few times more
Then move on...
I move on knowing
That sound will always
Bring me back
To a happier place and time.
