Living Your Memories

It is the simple things of life that I remember the most. The unique smell of Africa pungent with spices and scents so exotic they flood your nostrils. It is oh so easy to drift away to magical places and palaces. Filled with unicorns and faeries and other things that live in memory Were they ever real? or just figments. The tangy salty smell of Oyster bay as it drifts inland with the hot breeze. Waves sparkle in the sun as they lap the beach, brilliant hues of colour stretch over the reefs. The silver golden sands peeking through. It's thoughts of these simple things that in this life keep me grounded. Indeed they make me who I am in touch with my inner spirit and complete as I remember.

I enjoyed reading this one again. Especially now when with Covid I so miss travelling.

Hi Shadow, when we believe in something we breathe life into it and that makes it real. I enjoyed the images this piece conjured up in my mind.
