Senses of Yesterday

By Phil Coffey

Sitting in my rocker with my Whistler’s Mother's pose,
turning slightly, I watch the leaves a-waving in the breeze.
No need for formal attire,
just wearing my morning, noon and evening clothes.
Shades of darkness gather,
no traceable sparks of release.

The smell of wood chips on our bended knees,
the sight of fire-stoked broken ax handle glowing for all to see,
hearing my Dad's prayer of 'remove this anguish, Father please'.
Tasting fleeting moments of yesterday,
I leave feeling well pleased.
