Another poem from the recently released anthology “easing the edges: a collection of everyday miracles” with deep thanks to editor d. ellis phelps. It was inspired by my beloved stepmother and happy childhood summers in Annan-Leith near Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.

Wonderful “threading” of recall – remembered scenes entwined with current emotions. I feel the energy shifts scene to scene. Then Granny pulling the thread good and tight as you let slumber tuck you in good and tight. Love this!

“and brings out her ragbag
of stories, humming me happy”
I love those lines. A further stroke of light to push back the darkness.
