This weeks prompt brought back a favorite memory, story, and family (silent) movie....
Turning Round
Empty tire, perfect hole
curled inside, little brother
grin-lit face shining!
my father's camera,
rolling reel, on silent film
delight recording
my face too, lit by
a grin, my brother inside
the tire I'm rolling
up and down, around
he goes, his eyes crescent moons
his song is laughing
now upside down, his
face a frown? fingers pinched
grimace accusing!
camera records the
silent 'ow!' - my smile melts too,
now tears and hugging
forgive and forget
then begin again, his turn
to set me rolling!
love is for living
play for enjoying, hurts come
and we learn forgiving
