I watch the candles
As they slowly burn away
Dripping memories

Each strand so carefully
Strung on the tree
I would watch her in awe
And all I could see
Was the loving expression
On her smiling face
Nana knew exactly
How the tinsel should place
One silver thread
On each limb of pine
Another laid gently
So neat and so fine
For hours she’d continue
In her spirited way
So perfection would greet us
On that Christmas Day
She’d turn on the lights
Such a sight to behold
The sparkle of Christmas
Would never grow old
How I miss those days
How I miss you, sweet Rose
You decorated my heart
This, Heaven surely knows

She remembered so vividly
The calling of the wind
As it swept through her hair
With the whisper of a howl
Swirling about in rose scented air
Gathering thoughts in the breeze
Sharing secrets with her soul

There was a time
when the words
flowed like a waterfall,
an endless cascade
of letters, gathering
together like waves
in the ocean, crashing
down in a sigh, then
slipping away once again.
This is where my life will end,
like the bottom of a riverbed,
dried up, seared by the heat
of the daytime star, scarred
where words no longer
can bleed brittle memories,
merely to fall away,
an invisible page
