Five Poems by Mary Bone

 





Spices on the shelves adds 

luster to food and life. 

Rich aromas drift through 

my nostrils, as I enter 

Grandma’s kitchen. 

 

 

When the Heart Cries 

 

The heart cries 

when someone dies. 

Tears fall, 

they rain, they pour, 

creating a deluge. 

God sighs and holds us near, 

Because He loves us, “So dearly.” 

 

 

Stolen Moments 

 

On a hill, 

Overlooking the city, 

Lights below were translucent. 

Travelers were escaping, 

On a journey through time and space. 

Stolen moments were reflections of quietness. 

 

 

Music in the Trees 

 

A sweet lullaby 

trilling music to my ears 

through the lush forest.

 

 

Memories 

 

The sound of a saxophone filtered 

through the air. 

the music touched my heart, 

as I stood on a veranda 

overlooking the sea of memories.
