Crimson’s Creative Challenge #51

caught in the cobweb

desperate for salvation

no easy way out

Beneath All That Cobweb- Somkritya

via Beneath All That Cobweb

Grandmother’s chest in the attic,         

Waiting for someone to come near her

Ears strained to hear the known footsteps

Vision blurred with cobwebs but her spirit is not

Maybe there is something for you in there maybe not,

But how will you know if you don’t reach out to it?

A quilt and some handkerchiefs

A world of soft cotton and lace

Hope and warmth embroidered in each one

Maybe you will find solace in them maybe not

But how will you know if you don’t embrace them?

Some old wrinkled and some neatly packed clothes

They have more deals and tales

Than any book or shop

The soothing whiff of love, comforting whispers

Maybe you will find them enlightening maybe not

But how will you know if you don’t let them express?

At the corner of the chest are some old memories

Some letters have gone yellow; some brown

Some old pictures; of a naughty little girl on a swing

Of a free-spirited woman before and after her marriage

Oh! the beautiful carefree past and their echoes

Maybe you will find some mantra in them maybe not

But how will you know if you don’t ask?

Hope, love, warmth, inspiration, and some surprises in store

The old neglected chest can be full all this and more

An old set of dentures desperate to share her story

An old eyeglass full of wisdom

This may be your lucky day maybe not

You may find something valuable, maybe not

But how will you know….
