For Ayrton...
In this empty room now devoid
of your clutter and chaos, I'm lost.
The door and windows have stories to tell
of the boy who grew to manhood here
amid deafening music blaring out
and technology wall-to-wall.
Though silent now and stripped quite bare,
this will always remain your room.
It's filled with precious memories
that once acknowledged spring to life:
happy times shared between mother and son
that I'd thought would never end.

Ygraine, that's a great photo but, I can't help but to have tears in my eyes after reading what you said.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lon my Friend...I am truly touched by your kindness.:))
DeleteYes, the "Empty Nest" syndrome, I guess...it is so quiet here without him...:/
This is truly beautiful. And your boy will always have a home in your house - and your heart.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, EC...you are so kind!😊
DeleteYes, he will always have a home here...even though he is now making his way out in the big wide world!

After watching our kids scatter across the planet, I found new ways of contacting. Sure we miss them but the excitement, love and measureless pride never wavers. You have posted a beautiful poem, recognizable feelings --I am a great big man and I cried when our youngest son moved out.
ReplyDeleteOh Geo...that is truly touching...to know that you cried when your son left home. Brings a tear to my eye too!
