A Moment To Reflect

Where have all these years gone? A mind is questioned, reminiscing here in Chapel Street amidst a litany of memories. Every nook, crevice and cranny, resonate in sweet refrain giving one the chance to heal in its lingering embrace. Dimensions of silhouettes in shrouds of moorland mist, ghost from grains of a youth then glide into life’s obscurity. Yet! A breath of contentment within a silent language, a persistent sigh in this, a moment to reflect. © Harry J Horsman 2004
