These Things Brings Me Home Again –  © 2015 by Myron Schreck

When I’m disoriented, and I can’t find my way, I picture a little cottage beside a silver lake.  The scent of jasmine mixed with hyacinth and rose:  these things bring me home … again.  

I have a secret power:  I travel back in time.  I pick a distant moment and focal point my mind:  A frying pan with mushrooms, onions, eggs and kale.  These things bring me home again. 

A glass of wine … on a table made of wooden slats.  A broken sign hanging … near an old wrinkled photograph.   A solo guitar playing … an old-time lullaby.  A golden sunset fills the sky.  And as the night grows dark … and shadows disappear … I melt away … I don’t know where.

My body’s old and weary; the years have not been kind.  I treasure all my memories; they’re all I’ve left inside.  The way you laugh and smile; the way you hum a tune.  All these things bring me home to you.
