The Present and The Past
written by: Shae T
In my nonna’s backyard
Sits a murky green pond
With a mind of its own
And, magical powers to show.
A deep dive some days
May lead you to a doorway
That opens into a lush meadow
Decades beyond my age.
The scenery all so familiar
That cottage and relic boat in the yard.
Mom my age, Nonna so young and GrandPa too.
Me, a visitor, they naught know who.
Dinners by the fires, parties by the beach
So much laughter, so much joy
Learning stories that reconnect
The Present
I am very new to the world of poetry. I started writing poetry the Spring of 2018. I work in healthcare and live in Dallas, Texas in United States.
