Thompson Emate Poet Tanka

The World Behind

"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind like breezes blown..."
                              - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings)


A door through gone days,
A road to the scripted past,
Shows and takes its course, 
Memories permute like cards,
They come in varied series.
