Becca's Book

Visitation

  Call down descending ages like

  time-darkened corridors in the

  abandoned schools of our youth

  and she will appear.

  She has for centuries, blessing

  with smile and voice and eyes

  and touch countless generations

  that sought her light.

  She’s here again, has come at

  night this time to stand before

  you when the sun breaks the

  back of darkness.

  Don’t fear her presence. She’s

  the one true gift you’ll ever

  receive. Rise and take the

  life she extends

  Before the change occurs and

  she becomes memory or dream

  or just a thing that maybe you

  once were offered.

  Return kindness. She’s tired

  of traveling through ages, wants

  to remain here, this place, with

  you. Hold her.

  Welcome her. Say Stay.

  Say the word.

  Stay.
