Containers and Jars

Containers and Jars
by Dave Doc Rogers

A rhythm beats across wood and hide
Strumming guitars ride the tempo
Notes picked on steel strings
Words hang in the air just a moment
As paint is swirled on blank canvas

Hand in hand, hips sway, and feet tap
A mood takes them away
Watchful eyes capture the scene
As conversations quieten
To store up this life’s event

All we are, containers and jars
Storing up moments of life
Shared at a future time
With family and friends
Or a quiet reflection of then

The events of life make one full
Conversations held in remembrance
Eyes stare distantly replaying the scene
Away in a mood relived
Feet tap, hand in hand, hips sway

A painted canvas on a wall
Electronic replay, a voice sings still
Crisp and clear, stringed notes are picked
Strumming guitars stirring the soul
Soft skinned beats play out their rhythm

All we are, containers and jars
Stored up moments of life
Shared at a future time
With family and friends
Or in quiet reflection of then

– For my friend, Tania Cordobés
