i remember the day
you told me i had
a twinkle in my eye
the lights that kept me alive

the room smelled of soil
of soil and of sunshine
and alcohol and vanilla
and lavender
especially lavender

i fell down today
right in the dirt
and it reminded me
of that room

you

That had a nice nostalgic feeling to it; I liked it. Good read.

I like the imagery I'm getting from this, Kate.

Enjoyed!

I am a big fan of imagery and this allowed me visions within my own mind. Nicely done.

Lavender is one of my favorite scents, quite capable of evoking some fond memories of a garden I planted many years ago filled with lavender and roses. Thank you, for tickling a memory.
