THE OLD LADY...

THE OLD LADY…

The old lady seated on that chair, showed me once…
…How the sun shines and rises every day,
…How sometimes clouds may be also on its way
Learn by heart the old days
When I see……when I see,
…the old lady seated on that chair

Seated on that chair… the old lady cries at times
…Perceiving maybe that her days are gone
Lecture of life… hard to rise above or understand
When I see… when I see,
…the old lady seated on that chair

The old lady seated on that chair, in sweet smile
…reminiscences coming up to bright her sunlight hours
Peaceful in mind my heart embrace that flash
When I see.., when I see,
…the old lady seated on that chair

Peaceful in mind…the memories are there
As blooming flowers like the ones she grew
Beautiful gardens surrounds me, but with pain
When I see… when I see,
…the old lady seated on that chair


I know one day… I might see the chair unfilled
…Nobody there, just the lovely old lady’s energy
And I’ll be acquainted with…her saying…

“How the sun shines and rises every day
How sometimes clouds may be also on its way”

When I might not see… might not see
…The old lady seated on that chair … my Mom.

Yeah, sentimentally nostalgic. touching. The repetitive line is piquant. I like the sombre tone of this poem. The mood is well sustained by repeating lines. Good.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
