Dreams of Mother

 


Grief


(A lone voice whispers)


Lost in deep thoughts

Of my beloved mother


Sadness always 

Suddenly appears


Whenever I see  

Our old favourite photographs


Of childhood

Together


Causing me to savour


The subtle taste  

Of salty tears


For

Grief and memories are forever interlinked


It just sometimes depends on how old you are 


For these words 

To truly sink in
