Leaflight on your shoulders
dust on your shoes
a thousand unnoticed steps
becoming the life
you once prayed for Diligence is a soft thing sometimes #vss365

#mask Uncle Howard’s room of mysteries, that’s where that old wooden door leads… Sometimes when I’m dazed and looking at him, I wonder…  “Why doesn't he speak to his brother, Jim?”  Sitting just a little bit south,   his massive Victorian house Well, south of Final Grace Cemetery, which, well that’s completely secondary… Now, back to the house When Tommy and myself visit for holidays, we just love to get lost in the wide orchards maze  The breeze swinging from planks off the trees, playing a game of who will kick the bees And then there’s the pristine marble floor,  leading up to the mystery rooms door!  Inside the room are; Knick knacks and century old forgotten heirlooms, even a tiny display, of a Belgian courtroom  Peculiar as it may be,  it’s not the oddest thing to me  It’s all the masks…  There must be forty, even more than fifty of them, In the hall, on the wall, next to the bongo drums But there’s two dolls I find… fascinating  one’s a boy, scowling like he’s debating   One hand’s missing, the others just a thumb,  but most of all, he’s made of hardened gum! Then there’s the sad girl, her face is disturbed  Half is missing and she’s deprived,  though retaining both of her eyes as I question how she got like that, and where the boys absent hand is at  Hmmm… did she take it? Possibly cause he split her face,    and weaved paper mache in its place?    Drowning in notes  Michael J  Prompt word and photo provided @bionicanadian
