Reclaiming
Twisting jeweled cuffs over knuckles,
silky knot loosely skimming cleavage.
Gathering, clasping silver sparkled strands,
gracefully dabbing her beaded forehead.
Scrutinizing mirrored reflections,
slipping into glistening peds, then rising.
Grasping cool marble, steadying her walker.
Gliding slowly, halting, gasping.
Long estranged, eyes locked,
sparks of youth flaming as shadows pass.

The poem and the music are both beautiful. I had not heard the song before and both touched me deeply. I could easily see the actions of the woman in the poem too. Nicely done.

Beautifully presented, we could easily envision this lovely lady still carefully following the routines of a life long since passed. In her mind it was still very real.

Thank you! I toyed around with that one for quite a good while. I kept changing around those last two lines.

This was so beautiful. I felt I walked those steps with her and saw the same reflections.
Wonderfully paced and with selected words to cause magic to happen. What a superb poem and 6 🙂
