In Calm Solitude

minutes steal away
as my thoughts swim in
my mind's placid sea.
in calm solitude 
as I recollect...

fun salad days;
my head in the
marshmallow clouds
as I inhale...

the soft breeze.
I grin with 
my eyes closed...

letting
it all...

go.

Recollecting happy days in solitude lets one swim in joy at least for a moment though those days can never be retrieved. Enjoyed your thoughts much Edward !

Ah, Edward, there is nothing like those quiet moments of meditation, recalling days long gone by, but never lost in the mind. Good stuff!
