2014-11-07 2 Dailymotion

Here, in the rooms <br />of my childhood <br /> <br />I, an adult now <br /> <br />walk through memory <br />made real again <br /> <br />amazed at how small <br />the Past is <br />(to my Present self) <br /> <br />I thought these rooms <br />immense <br /> <br />& now they shrink <br />before my shadow <br /> <br />climbing the stairs <br /> <br />the shadow of <br /> my footfall <br /> <br />this old house <br />no longer mine <br />(except in my mind) <br /> <br />echoing with footsteps <br /> <br />as I walk <br />through my tears <br /> <br />& see the dead arise <br />To greet me <br /> <br />as if they were not <br />dead <br /> <br />& how <br />they exist <br /> <br />inside me <br /> <br />living still <br />as my beating heart <br /> <br />these walls once knew me <br />& still remember me <br /> <br />as they touch my fingertips <br />touching them <br /> <br />(almost believing) <br /> <br />that the opening door <br />will still bring <br /> <br />me <br /> <br />you. <br /> <br /> <br />(For Brian...’cos he knows)<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-house-of-my-home/
