Charged electricity
In the room
Caffeine in the coffee and my pacing feet.
My name first on the list
Bold in uppercase print
Ready to share my new poem
Excited to grab the mike, the spotlight
Proud to share my love
For my grandmother.
Watching the reaction
Adding reflection and inflection
To paint the picture
For each person listening
So they could see her
Or their own loved one
Taking them back
To memories
That ground us all.
(Raymond A. Foss)
