Remembrance

The concentration of lights 

made the darkness louder,

crescendoing in shadows

on each side.  I focused

on one image, the loneliest 

of the ornaments, hanging

by itself, a story that I know

and hold deeper than my other 

memories… tucked, safe,

covered in layers of love,

a remembrance that remains 

secluded, nestled in my 

mommy-heart.
