3WW prompt #XCV ~ history + narrow + spent

If you want to feel
See and
Smell
A narrow version of
History
Wander into
An antique shop ~
One housed in an old home
Perhaps filled
(Old wooden floorboards
Walls
Windows)
With
Memories
Whispers
Spirits of
Other days

If you want to walk with passing time
Drift the streets ~
Seek signs
Peeling signs
Faded signs
Fragments of signs

But if your space
To dream
To wonder is
Spent
Tame
Dry
Lame ~
At least
Glance and
Note
The fresh
Clean
Make-up on

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
