grannies house

granny is sitting in her old rocking chair
the coal fire simmering bright ,puffs of smoke rising up the chimmney
granny sits in her rocking chair
in her granny slippers warming her self by the coal fires light

dark is the room the silences the cold dampness of the chill from the world out side
the black and white tv switched on with its lighted screen white and hissing to be played again

the old cukoo clock on the wall chimes
the passing hours on the hour every hour
breaking the silence all around
granny sits in the darkness rocking to and throw in her favorite
chair

sitting silent not knowing who is there
the poorly dim lite room its darkend old fashiond wall paper falling the decay lying around what a pitfull site to be hold ,the knocking on the windows from outside children playing knock knock
oh what a nouisence they are

granny iqnores them hoping they will go away
thinking of her childhood her youth snathced away, her youth gone for ever,just taken away ,locked in her old age only with
her memories locked inside her mind so no one can see
for shes the only one with the key

Hi, wayne34,
dark is the room the silences the cold dampness of the chill from the world out side. I can feel the aloneness. grannies house is filled with a lot of memories consuming the present. It's sad when the key is lost to others who may want to reach the heart and mind inside.

Our memories should be private with us holding the only key, and only we can decide when and where to share....enjoyed it Wayne, you took me into a private place, I could almost hear the ticking clock....Niahteddybear peace
