Reminisce

                              

    Soothing and silent I stared around

          My mind opens a panorama
As I close my eyes and search the ground

          Look upwards there’s Nanna
                              


     Sitting on a chair, a girl on her lap
  Playing around with a tiny coconut sap

     “can you do this too” she whispers
Amazed, amused and awed “never…wow”

                              

        Quiet laughter, slow and queer
As they both sit and ponder the tiny plant
        Time relentlessly runs the race,
  Dark clouds leak Like toxic gas escapes

                              

                Time to go my love
           As they slowly walk away
              Open my blurred eyes
              And stare up in dismay
