Blue Willow dishes stacked so high
vested with crumbs of yesterdays pie
who would think that it was the last time
that all would change
that you would die
Now the dishes are silently stacked
into the boxes sadly packed
who would think that it was the last time
that all would change
that you would die

What a lovely magpie!!!
ReplyDeletehow sad...but that is life. One minute we are eating pie and laughing and the next we are forced to say good pie to that guest...
ReplyDeletevery simple very beautiful in a mournful way.
how mournfully beautiful....like the call of a bird who has lost her mate.
ReplyDeleteLife is so very much like this. One day you are living life and eating pie...and the next you are forced to say good bye to a loved one.
beautifully written for a sad magpie!
