Summer Hideaway

Do you remember when, we went away
       for summer holidays-----
             When days were long
             The sun never gone
          behind rain clouds
             as it seems today.
  And always time in the sun to lay
  There were magic rock pools
  Nooks and crannies explored
           without tools
  Became hill forts to fight
             off secret foes
   We won or lost without serious woes.
   Trees those mysteries we explored 
       in wondering awe
   Never quite grasping the geometry
               we saw.
    It fired our memories and twitched
               our mind
    but what was it, we were meant to find??
