Since you left them to carry on their ways
they have been busy linking up the chains
that connect today to its yesterdays;
laying down tomorrow’s memory lanes.
.
Making sense of old roads and rusty tracks,
reassembling what was buried beneath
a pile of long-forgotten knicks and knacks
and paper packs; as was time’s bequeath.
.
So here we are where old meets new again:
no where lost, now here, in a space between
the space that claims itself as now and then;
where timeless tales are coloured ever green.
.
… memory lanes bring forward days of old
… they hint at future paths as may unfold.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
