THE NEWNESS OF OLD

Folder: 
JOURNAL#30

travel plans

some much needed down time at home

seeing mom's face

that well worn glow of gentle dove blue

shaking aged hands while clasping ever stooped

shoulders

with even older fond memories thrown in

sews into life

a notch of something unamably new

such rustlings of rightness

inspire the heart

to beat out a happier tempo or two

to hear all those familiar words

and see those endearing smiles

speaks countless diaries to my soul

from just what a superb foundation of love

I so lovingly was allowed to grow up in

truly, home is

but a feeling of fitting in best

when you are just being yourself

and sharing that same old newness of old....
