Sparks (Photo credit: avl42)
I remember
Looming shadows
Large across old walls
In a quiet room
I remember
Low murmuring
Chanting in alien words
I did not understand
Swaying figures in this dark
Something coming
Just a spark
Just a spark
I remember
Kept there so patiently
Awaiting something
Completely unknown
I remember
Crying for my mother
Totally hopeless
And so alone
Singing sibilance so low
Electric pain
As above, so below
As above, so below
I remember
Learning to forget
Like a special talent
For a little girl
I remember
Fingers pressed lightly
Against my lips
To seal the vow
Swaying memories in the dark
Something leaving
Just a spark
Just a spark

Haunting. Loved this. Sent chills down my spine. 🙂
Thank you! It was meant to be creepy!! 🙂 🙂
My God Helen I love it!!!!
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
Sad and haunting, as cubby said above. I think that word fits. Mothers and daughters can be troubling and the spark leaving has many meanings, too.
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
a ripple of electricity runs down ones spine 🙂
