Breathe Deep

Keith

Empty glasses

Two chairs
One table
No sound - no words
Just dust
That once was
Part of a person
Who passed this way.
A waiter pauses,
Wipes away the life
That sat here
That once watched
And who too waited-
Then thought and wrote.
All now past tense.
Breathe now...
Breathe deep.
Catch the butterfly syllables
While you can
And drink in

What another let loose
Into this fragile space.

        The poem creates an amazing visual. A feeling of connectedness with the ones who sat there with those glasses....
