I hardly notice It crept up on me Not unexpected Yet it surprised me The larger significance Obvious The lesser more Poignant The good company Gone And with them the Art That adorned their walls And the walls of their forbears My forebears Paintings that inched into my life Sculpture that enlightened my soul That at each visit awaited And satisfied my anticipation That over years inserted themselves into my awareness Integrated themselves into my life’s framework The good company always Voices travel Pinged satellite to satellite until they reach my ears The art remains silent But for brief fleeting mind apparitions ©Karen Casady 2019
