The Smell of Sandalwood

by Meme   Aug 8, 2011


Squeaky door, dusty floor
Coffee brown curtains,
reflecting a golden ray of
sunlight.

A smell of an alluring scent,
aromatizing the room
with a warm blend of sandalwood
and musk.

A warm cozy carpet,
centered on a wooden floor,
holds cherished childhood
memories.

The wooden cane, leaning
on the side of the room,
lifting the heavy weights
of her life.

Her sweet wrinkled hands,
combing those silver strings
of hair, not a sign of age, but of
a walking grace.

She is the warmth of the house,
the pillar holding this family,
A collection of kindness, wisdom,
and love.

    This took me places. Back in time, to my grandmothers.
    Poems don't usualy take me there, it was new. Very touching and soft. Just overall warm in feel.
    It felt loving to me

    5/5
