The window lattice frames a piece
of blue, sky's peripheral voice.
Step lightly on your memory...
Early sun enters the garden,
scared, quivers at the mighty oak.
Step lightly on your memory...
A perfect slant falls upon my cheek,
remember your fingers
trails etched over half my life.
Oh, step lightly on your memory...
A sound of ravens flying low,
ominous voices in early sun.

Author Notes
Very often now I fall into somber musings. I think of how it was, I think of nothing ever coming back. But I don't want to give in. So I raft myself, go back inside and play the sunny wife. Oh, the duality! (Don't worry, readers! Not anymore. This was three years ago).
I can't get the ballet-steps (French) written right. It should be Jete-plie with ´on the last e in each word. Correction doesn't take away the scramble. Sorry.
