Bright Yellow Chairs
a cool day by cold water
beneath a moody winter sky
mountains in the distance
bright yellow chairs in a row
beautiful to behold
strong enough supported
and anchored to withstand
fierce winds and stormy weather…
yesterday my daughter and I
took photos of her and me
my request- soon to be 73…
moments caught by technology
reminders for when I’m gone
or when she’s gone before me…
we sit on those deathly cold chairs
taking turns- laughing smiling
wrinkles erased by distance
battle-scars of weathered living
covered by warm coats of love…
my daughter and I- friends forever
together in so many lives
as with my son- family- friends
soul companions- friends forever…
undaunted by stormy worlds
though cold- uninviting- fierce
together we just jump in
staying a while- little or long…
photos taken- we moved on
to other scenes and other stories
experiences to live and to share
bringing the warmth of loving care…
