Just a Few Recollections

Neville

Just a Few Recollections

 

Well that

was not just any old

day now was it ..

It was long,

hot and golden ..

At least

twenty four carats

he thought ..

And the very same

colour as those

few freckles she had

lightly

sprinkled across

the bridge

of her nose ..

Like fresh spun honey

in sunlight

he thought ..

And as gold

as her hair once was ..

Not to mention

the smile on the face

of new parents ..

No that was

far more than

most definitely not

just any old day

he thought ..

And he smiled again

with affection

at all those fond

recollections

contained in that

torn, 

well creased

black and white

photograph ..

The one he kept safe

in his wallet

for forty odd years

since his wedding day ..

        Old crumpled photos can bring instantly back those golden days when love understood and a heart saw freckles as golden gems. An evocative read mon ami.
