Brie Carter - An Old Record

2014-11-08 5 Dailymotion

Stars revolving in the dark fabric of the night above <br />Moonlight trickling through the curtains <br />Silence.... <br />My cries shatter the hazy veil of dreams <br />My mother jolts herself awake with sagging eyes and ruffled hair <br />Only to find beside her-an empty pillow <br />My father is already at my crib <br />Gently lifting me up. <br />My head on his shoulder <br />He rocks me in the cradle of his arms. <br />My cries cease as <br />The voices of the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel <br />Pitter patter in my ears like the soothing sound of a night rain <br />Ebbing and flowing my mind back <br />Into the deep, shadowy sea of sleep. <br />Years later, sitting in a car with my friends <br />'April Come She Will' or 'Sound of Silence' <br />Crackles through to oldies radio station <br />And I am taken back to that place in my memory- <br />That place of unblemished contentiment <br />Where I know I will be taken care of <br />Where I know my father will be there to rescue me <br />With a shoudler to rock me on and an old record.<br /><br />Brie Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-old-record/
