“The train blows through town
delivering reality,
slapping my face and screaming,
“You are alone”
Rose colored memories drown,
taking their last breath.”
― Kellie Elmore, Magic in the Backyard

“Resting on the roots of this old oak I lean back against his knotted trunk, shine my granny smith on my sleeve And ponder the days…”
― Kellie Elmore, Magic in the Backyard

“...and should I die in her care, I would leave smiling because, I will linger in the hills beside her...”
― Kellie Elmore, Magic in the Backyard

“...what happens when you return
and find nothing
but a hollowed shell,
shingles and floor,
walls and echoes
and the light that lead you here
has now burned out
and the ones who built it
have traveled afar
and you cant go to them,
no matter what shoes you wear.”
― Kellie Elmore, Magic in the Backyard
