Inheritance



all the belongings  descended to us
vintage or antique,
all metals , golds and silvers, glass wares  crystals  or wooden fine works,  in
different strength and merit
the artifacts that never take rust or erode we feel proud
rejoice
we  store them  with  love and care
our  eyes moistened with tears, our heart refilled with pensive mood

we keep  the memories alive
and in a drift of nostalgia
in
ecstasy

we hand over all these to our next progeny
and a dreamland  wide awake invites us
to her voluptuous endless fantasy.
