If I fell through a wormhole
I would land outside her window
in midsummer
breathe the smell of pomegranates
ready for picking on that lopsided bush.
Twillia would come through the screen door
wafting aroma of lavender and lilac
smoothing her print dress
green eyes twinkling.
Those eyes that harbor a deep love
a grandmother’s love
our day would be alive
with possibilities
taking my hand
lifting my spirits
as though she had never
left me here
in this hard world.
And we would go
arms full of canning jars
pickles, blackberry jam, peaches
into the cellar
she would speak love in rhymes
in her kitchen
small, colorful bowls
filled with vanilla custard
her cup of hot tea.
We would enter that center
that harbors
stories and memories,
breaking the barrier,
skipping through time.
I really love this and as always, my eyes get teary eyed. Just how your warm, loving and heart-felt words mean. Lana, she hears your words drifting up along the airwaves that heart strings connect the 2 of you. . . ♡ You break the barrier of time and space.
Robin, thank you so much. You also brought tears to my eyes, but in a good way. Blessings, xoxo
Oh, it would be wonderful to go through that wormhole and be with the past but for a moment. You have pulled us in with colors, fragrances, images and textures down to that cup of tea where time lives again. Lovely!
Thank you so much, that would be wonderful indeed. 🙂
Oh how sweet. There is a special bond between a girl and her grandmother.
Thanks Marissa, there really is, it’s a wonderful thing 🙂
I love the quantum time continuum and the theory that we can enter and exit where and whenever we want!
I have always been fascinated by it too. My favorite movies in this genre are: Peggy Sue Got Married and Back to the Future (1st). Have a marvelous day and thanks for reading!
