Scents
scents…
pleasant memories
of times past
caught on the breeze…
talcum powder
sweet milk
babies’ breath
mother’s faint perfume
dad’s aftershave
close friends
departed
waiting in the light
watching this life
play out

Thanks so much; I’m sure we shall, just keep the faith… Sometimes when I write a poem I have no idea where it will end. This is one of them.
