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.
