Shadows
Close your eyes....
Listen.
Do you hear it?
The echoes of a long forgotten time.
They linger in my mind
like the scent of honeysuckle clinging to the vine.
Oh how sweet the scent!
Memories of a childhood long ago
filter through the ages
of my mind.
Shouts and cries of playful children
fill the shadows that envelope me.
I open my eyes and all is gone but a memory.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
