Time That Has Been Mine

I find that as I stroll along I fall into reflection A wading pond of memories So fond of memories am I Each step, an effervescent whim through time that has been mine Each shine that has been mine comes to fore And as a kitten scurries on to comfort of the shade My thoughts are a parade that wants to take me home For like a page with splendid rhyme just falling into place It’s such a sugared space This time that has been mine

Hello Mike, beautifully nostalgic piece, flowing like a gentle river of cherished memories. I like how the rhythm carries such warmth, and the imagery feels both personal and universa. It’s a pleasure to read, like stepping into a sun-dappled dream. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
