Necklace

The smell of roses, I knew she was coming
The smell of lemons and limes, I knew she was coming
She makes me feel safe and connected to her
How can one object be so powerful

I don’t know how to react
As she slowly takes her last breath
I feel my fingers shaking through hers as she hands it to me
She makes me feel brave and strong
How can one woman make me feel linked to an object I’ve never seen before

She is whispering to me in my dreams
I can feel her swaying on her favourite rocking chair
It was as if I was there with her

The object was glistening through my eyes as she came closer
And as she came closer, the object reflected through my eyes and put a big glare through my eyes
It was as if a strike of light shone through
The feeling of not having it with her made me feel worried
The sound of wind and rain, the sound of birds chirping and chickens cockle-doo-do-do as the sun rose
