Air Castles III:  Inheritance

Like visions, places nudge us    
through inheritance, striking    
remembrance rooted in sulfur    
rekindling the Spirit of blood     
      
Communion was Love, an ancestor  
soft reminder of its ever-presence    
When I woke, I couldn’t remember    
its Castle of crystal compass      
   
Then from his room, dreaming away    
dawn, my grandson began to laugh  
and I slowly remembered  
from where it was I came  
 
and smiled at the prospect of hope
