Paused

The textured page holds my finger
Swift memory steals the pause
Here I’ll sit and so long linger 
Again, I’ll wonder who she was

Moved as if by a magic wand
To soles and autumn leaves
Carried back to Walden’s pond
Amongst observant trees

Its here I held her young hand
And wondered what might be
There we walked the storied land
Now how does she remember me

Hopefully as pleasantly as you remember her :) Sad yet somehow peaceful; very nice Jerry.
