Happy place

In Cornish sand dunes

sun blazing, insects buzzing

far off rollers crash

September

.

Plentiful conkers

bring joy to the boy in me

recall a lost art

The end of the line

great memories are locked up

burnt out rusty shell

Memories

.

Filled with a warm glow

recalling untroubled times

when we were children

.

by Scooj

Clear out

.

Sorting and chucking

bitter-sweet experience

Letting go is tough

.

by Scooj

Departed

.

We remember them

they live on in our stories

after we are gone

.

by Scooj

Ordinary life

.

So many stories

trapped deep in my mind, unshared

together we die

.

by Scooj

Prompted by a recent preoccupation of mine which is to write down some of the stories and memories I have in a short essay form. Time I fear is my enemy.

Cycles

 

And in a moment

all that was good is now gone

time to start again.

 

by Scooj

It’s coming

 

Summer’s memories

locked away and discarded;

face up to Winter.

Bicycle

 

Idyllic cottage

where I learned to ride a bike

never forgotten.
