On wings of thought a scent wafts..
so strange,,,to make me feel
Of good and bad,,,all things remembered...
childhood lost in time
Safe and real,,,,daddy's arms,,,so strong
tears of yearning for a voice
Watching curls of smoke drift high
yellow,,,,,then white....
This man I watch,,must think me daft...
i know him not at all...
The scent of my daddy lingers here..
a cigar in the knuckles of a stranger
A smile grows with my tears....
so many things at once
Dancing deep,,,,running fast over and again...
he leaves,,,,,yet,,the memories linger
Settled in the scent of memory

To be held, is all I ask......

strange just what things can trigger memories. Well done. Chris
