Willow hosts a weekly meme
Using the below photo
write a poem or vignette
when we moved from that house.
I remember a photograph like image
or should I say I remember the door,
remember looking up from darkness into brimming light
knowing that I was alone and mama must be somewhere
over that broken door.
I remember...darkness...light...no mama
I recorded...fear,confusion,and abandonment.
All that power in one door
held within.

ReplyDeleteI've heard it said that first born children's earliest memories are of looking up at something like a door handle. Made me wonder if the author was first born.
ReplyDeleteVery powerful words Suz. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe images during childhood creates the most lasting and poweful impressions.
ReplyDeleteNice Mag! I love that you bundled all that up in memory! Thanks
ReplyDelete"Memory of Things Past."
ReplyDeleteAs a child, it was always my goal to open a door on my own. As an adult, I'm pleased to say my curiosity for what lies beyonds doors, hasn't dwindled.
ReplyDeleteNice magpie suz, early memories definitely linger.
