i touched it's corners---the emotions of it's softness entered me and i was once again over-whelmed--
the silence of that familiar fragrance hung in the dense air, like a spirit, calling to me
oh it wasn't that i minded, in fact, it could be said, it was a comfort--like an old record, one finds in a dusty old second hand store----i knew i would play it's story over and again in my heart
such blissfulness, remembered that way at least---probably wasn't as idyllic as the filters of time, allowed it to be---but i embraced it
pondering if time were perhaps a circle---existing, waiting for us to notice ---to recognize, it's voice--it's cadence--it's perfection-
Lynn I love this SO much. I love this line in particular "probably wasn't as idyllic as the filters of time, allowed it to be". Wow...
ReplyDeleteawww thanks so much o.e.---i am so happy you liked it :)
DeleteI find comfort in the line: pondering if time were perhaps a circle.

ReplyDeleteTypo error. Argh. Meant to say:
DeletePerhaps Time is a circle, as Life is. I sometimes wish it would slow down to the way time felt when we were under ten years old - when summers seemed to last much longer.
yes--summer does go by faster these days :)
DeleteExactly. I can't say more.
ReplyDeletehaha i know---time is running in circles--huh joanne! :)
DeleteReminds how certain scents takes us back in time. Very lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh they do for me--sometimes more than anything else can--thank you susan :)
DeleteLovely words, Lynn. The filters of time have a way of softening our memories, thank goodness. We can make the choice to remember the good parts and ignore the bad... which we are unable to escape when they are actually happening.
ReplyDeleteso true, ms. a---and you are right, "thank goodness"--thank you :)
Deletejust like a long forgotten aroma,sound,taste or vision a touch can roll the years back.
ReplyDeletenicely put Lynn
nicely put yourself!! thanks:)
DeleteIf time is a circle, maybe we can have 'do-overs.' Or maybe it forces them, so we finally learn.
ReplyDeletei love that theory joy!!!!
DeleteBeautiful, Lynn. I was looking over the wedding pics, and what a beautiful event it turned out to be! (Beautiful is apparently my word for you today.)
