Memories
Memories
Stored and kept safe
Put away but not forgotten
Recalled and remembered
With a simple touch
A light breeze
Fresh and untainted
Free and far from the world
The warm sun
Friendly and safe
Soil trickling through my hands
Seedlings nurtured
Growing strong and green
Rough wood and soft rugs
Familiar and comforting
Metal chain and a rubber tire
Hours spent sitting, thinking
Spinning round and round
Gravel underfoot
Kicking up dust
And the wind through my hair
As I run, laughter ringing out
The faintest scent too
Rain about to fall
Hot chocolate
Tantalizingly sweet
Wet leaves
Jumping in them
Then raking them up
Fresh grass
Wild and spread out
Soap and leather
Firewood smoke
A lingering smell that never faded
Sticky syrup
Hot pancakes
And Autumn air
The softest sound
Wind chimes
Music on the breeze
The whirl of tools
In constant use
The trickling of water
Creaking wooden swing
Constant laughter
The buzz of conversation
Sizzle and pop
As delicious creations are made
Rustle of trees
That dance in the wind
Birds sing
As a cheerful whistle
Rings out
The briefest glance
A well worn smile
Pictures form times long gone
Trees turned red
Painted colors
Splattered all around
Hill top covered in snow
A kitchen warm and glowing
With a light that surrounds all
A playground used and loved
The little wood shack
Filled with simple treasures
Every inch explored
Secrets uncovered
No stone left unturned
A house that was home
To all that came
Recalled and remember
Put away but not forgotten
Stored and kept safe
