September Memories


 

September Memories

By Carol Blackburn

 I have tiptoed across the harvest fields,

A track is cut, by so many that heeled,

Their way was direct, to shorten the trips

It may be because of, dodgy hips.

But out and about in pastures, once green.

A delight of scent and all that’s seen.

Freedom moments, that are stolen

catapulting into motion.

Now.

Memories of our devotion

Of another Indian Summer.

Not diluting its feel

In Autumn, is such a thrill!

As the dusk descends across our backs

And takes heed of all who went and tracked.

Across the harvest fields, I would tiptoe

For the scent and sight of the green,

Now mown.

  2. Memories Carole, a lovely thought but do they throw up a conundrum?
    If only our lives were on VHS enabling a re-wind every now and again.
    It appears the brain teases us whilst revealing these precious moments of joy with the knowledge that they cannot be repeated in reality. This ca cause sadness to some.
    I feel, however, this memory is comforting for you.
