Emily

You sang a song

That gripped my eyes

And zoomed them in

Locked on.

 

In your arms

Were Oliver and Annika

Twirled around

Beholding:

 

Poppa, Nana, Don and cats,

Familiar scents,

Knowing smiles

Ready-serves.

 

We need no more –

But listening;

The melody of souls

Found warm, at home.
