Whispers in Attic Tales

Written February 04, 2025, For contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Quote: Let the vintage box gather dust; it seems like no one will ever open it or discover it. By Poet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unseal all that unscathed trove of treasured stories, where the sweet fragrance of rejuvenating Petrichor soaks the atmosphere. A captivating aroma saturates the serene and radiant space of the attic. whispers of memories linger in every nook where neglect softly nestles. Gentle whispers of tales emerge from a soothing sanctuary seamlessly woven together. Wicker wonders once filled with warmth, now stand still, cloaked in contemplative musings that meander quietly by. Revitalized by luminous, enchanting nights, they bask in the brilliance of the extraordinary stars above. In the den, the resonance of ancestral wisdom persists. Graceful faces are captured in the gentle passage of time. Stories of celebration and joyous laughter is woven together— Imprints on lives marked by, both strength and restraint. With sorrow unearthed, from this timeworn attic, epiphany unfurls amidst, despair and anguish—a beacon. Fossils of joy cradle our suffering when, memories surge forth, akin to an unrelenting tide.

SP, joy and sadness go together in any real exploration. You picked a melody that expresses both and it goes really well with what you wrote. I'm all for unfurling stories that seem hidden. It's allegorical for the human experience we all have to deal with. Those who are successful in this endeavor are indeed lucky. Smiles!!

My dear friend Sotto, an attic must hold dear memories that go back at least several several generations of life times of loved ones going back. 'With sorrow unearthed from this timeworn attic, epiphany unfurls amidst despair and anguish - a beacon'. Just sifting out my late mothers and father in laws cupboards, was a step back in history, revelations untold! Wonderful write with nostalgic memories triggering mine. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
