The Upstairs Grotto

my mothers bedroom
is full of statures of
angels & pictures of
virgins from Israel,

the mother of heaven
gazes downwards
from starry wallpaper
and family photos',

each frame a time trapped
our summers glass-housed
empty scent bottles holding
sweet vapours sealed inside
the memory and chemistry
glimpsed by sepia eyes,

my mothers bedroom
is full of statures of
angels & pictures of
virgins from Israel.

John,this brought memories back of my mothers bedroom when we had to clear it out.Memories of years ago dating back from the war. A room full of memories cherished,preserved with time.
Well written my friend. xx Alice
