to be able to navigate through
timeless memories
steering clear of obstacles
careening intentionally
into elliptical forevers
stepping lightly past
moonlit nights kissed
by the fragrance of lilacs
spilling over from
sunlit days warm
as a breath of south wind
like peels of laughter
falling as rain driven
musical notes
cascading from
star dust covered bells
to bring back days on
beaches where the smell
of salt permeates the air
from briny ocean waters
to fall glistening
on your hair & skin
the smell of hot asphalt
beneath your feet as you
step lightly, a dance
of your own making
a revelry of heart and soul
to be able to navigate through
timeless memories
using a compass for
your thoughts
to guide you
on your journey of sojourning
& limitless imagination
testing the waters with your
inkwell muse….well,
what could be better
than that

I see you, too, like the ocean from some of your other writings. I miss it living where I do for I spent lots of time swimming in the ocean as a child. Thank You!

Renee, Memories weave there way through our minds some holding us still within the moment while others drive us forward to our Dreams, the pointer of our compass is always turning as we look either forward or backwards ..
Your words here Renee, as ever always point us to ponder the importance our thoughts hold.. They forever steer us along the roads we travel as we try to follow the life which is mapped out before us…
Love your new background too.. Many thanks Renee for your visit… Sending you much love sent your way dear friend 🙂
