One Life

written by: Kelly Osman

@Zephyroflight

Waking from these dreams, when will they stop?

They haunt me, they make me weak, I wish they'd leave me alone,

My new family saved me; it took time to adjust.

The antique accordion; the way he played was so subtle,

The array of books, meandering along the grand old case.

The music is so wonderful, reading gave my life a meaning.

The boy who chased me, his fondness for me grew,

The mischief we caused, so many moments we shared,

Little did I know, one day soon he'd be no longer,

The boy with the yellow hair is how I’ll always remember.

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
