clearly fading

rains pelting on
window sill-
memories fade

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fresh snow
under the window-
fresh memories

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in a drab day
footprints
mark my existence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

touching those
colours which
swirl in memory

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

trying to write
short verses-
a pilgrimage?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Problems with my PC. Posting from work. Will get back to your blogs as soon as possible.

  2. tami, these are evocative and nicely connected images. I really like how the piece becomes an emotional pilgrimage at the end.

  4. I like the subtle connection between these. And the footprints....sometimes a comfort to leave them or find them and know we share this pilgrimage....

    Good luck with the computer!

  5. Love the unfolding of these lined little gems. And the rain/memory is very moving.

    fresh memories'

    My favorite one. We just had a heavy snowfall all day yesterday. Made getting into work this morning rather an adventure...

    footprints in the sand
    wash away
