Reminiscences

In quiet emotions
Mortified cold
Empty of all living reflections
Still, on his bottom
Tucked
On the traditional stool
With his lonely gazing eyes
Fixed on the field
Where he had watched them play
The memories of yesteryears
Flooding his mind
Like it was only yesterday

He sat, his chin erect
Perturbed by the wind of time
Of dotted growing graves
Taking their places assertively
In his deserted homestead
Like ant hills unrelenting
To a waken his lose
Drawing to his eyes
Filtering tears of pain
That finally streamed his cheeks
In painful reminiscence
Of their past together
