Memory Lanes

Since you left them to carry on their ways

they have been busy linking up the chains

that connect today to its yesterdays;

laying down tomorrow’s memory lanes.

.

Making sense of old roads and rusty tracks,

reassembling what was buried beneath

a pile of long-forgotten knicks and knacks

and paper packs; as was time’s bequeath.

.

So here we are where old meets new again:

no where lost, now here, in a space between

the space that claims itself as now and then;

where timeless tales are coloured ever green.

.

… memory lanes bring forward days of old

… they hint at future paths as may unfold.
