Memories

One.

In a chair by the window,

Warm, furry blanket

Warm, furry pup by the door.

Trains rattling by,

Stream of colour and sound.

Two.

In a car on a winding highway

Cool mountains tower.

Peek of the city from the top;

Glance over at your smile,

Young and full of optimism.

Three.

On cobblestone streets afar,

Little corner cafes

Hidden gems meant to find

That perfect cup.

We found it there, I think.

Four.

Above barren wasteland

Floating on the wind.

Mossy green stretching;

Billowing gusts

Battering all but our smiles.

Five.

On sandy cliff above the sea,

Feet on hot sand

Cooled by salty ocean spray.

A walk in the park,

Sweet, slow-paced life.

Six.

A green bubble in the city

Coffee over crackling fire

Eggs on cast iron;

They always get stuck

But summer makes up for it.

Seven.

This flash of time reaching into past,

Then a stretch toward future.

Where I sit and reminisce.

Maybe this very moment

Is what I’ll write about next.
