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.

    I've heard that brevity is next to godliness.

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

    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!

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

    'fresh snow

    fresh memories'

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

    sorry about your PC problems.. Here's an attempt on your theme:

    breakers crash
    footprints in the sand
    wash away
