Empty Chair
By Kathleen Jordan
Inspiration piece

Chill in the air

Rocking chair silent on the end of the old wooden porch

Grandma gone and the generations of children and adults that

Rocked in times of fun and troubles have moved on

Only in the dark room of memory is Grandma always there

Her ceramic jar of hot baked cookies at her side

Empty now and covered with dust

I push the chair and hear the creak of surprise and hope

And I sit and rock and smile

The emptiness is filled with the singing of the chair and

the dancing of the memories
