Shadows
Close your eyes....
Listen.
Do you hear it?
The echoes of a long forgotten time.
They linger in my mind
like the scent of honeysuckle clinging to the vine.
Oh how sweet the scent!
Memories of a childhood long ago
filter through the ages
of my mind.
Shouts and cries of playful children
fill the shadows that envelope me.
I open my eyes and all is gone but a memory.
