Burst of colours, falling leaves and chestnuts
Bringing pensive mood and memories long forgotten
An old black and white photograph of an elderly lady
Holding an infant in her arms, the only memory of grandma
Seeing a chestnut brings this photograph to my mind
More memories come β running around and wildly
Kicking leaves into the air and looking for chestnuts
Gathering full bags of them to take home to play with
Later at home warmed by hot tea and enjoying sweets
Making a zoo full of chestnut animals β giraffe, lion, zebra…
On and on goes the list, even new species coming to life
Happily playing with them, creativity unleashed
Lost in the world childlike imagination where
Everything is possible even the most crazy dreams
Thanks for sharing this…
