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.

Brilliant!
Well thank you!
I love the image I see from your lines. Really good.
Kind of you to say so and to take the time to reply.
The poem creates an amazing visual. A feeling of connectedness with the ones who sat there with those glasses....
I am glad it connected with you. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a comment - much appreciated, SiVi .
