Family In Devotion

The chandelier

tinkles as

feet move

across the 

wooden floor.

The orange

cranes

hide behind

the exposed

door.

Stacks of

antique dishes

sing like

crickets

as they rub

each other

in movement.

Wine glasses

stand 

under 

a bouquet

of ranunculus. 

Their tight

buds like

balls of 

yellow and 

red yarn

sing a scent

of family. 

Happiness 

wafts through 

the air like

warm

French bread

out of the 

oven.

Memoires

absorb into

the oak table

and the wood

releases

the secret

of what keeps

a family

in devotion.
