Reminiscences
Summer days, meals-a-plenty,
Mystical playmates gathering gently
their wares to return another day to
share again in magnified dreams of elegant castles,
Caught on unknown cliffs
with vast green expanses celebrating life,
play, intrigue, and fun!
Days fly, nights fly,
Everyday I try
to keep light touches of
Years gone by to amplify,
My present thoughts of why
these scenes are nigh;
Enshrouded in tulle-like coverings
projecting childhood images,
Leaving the mind clear,
focused on the unimaginable
of long winters leading to opulent springs!
c. by Lena Smith Carter--Poetic Universalisms I, 2006.
