Memory Lane

Wayne's picture

Its a gorgeous Day hear in my City....Sunny and light Breeze....The Air is crisp and Clean...

  For some reason my memory returns to a time nearly 30 yrs ago...I  was living in the Mid West States of Nebraska....Across the street from my apt. was a park with a good sized pond.....The tall grass,  the cat o'nine tales...Pompass grass......The geese, ducks....families and children abound.....

  I would sit at the waters edge with my bare feet kissing the cool water....

  While observing a big White Goose and her goslings just feet away,  I pulled out the Bread crumbs I brought with me.....

  Off in the Distance on the water by the Lillies....2 Large white Trumpeter Swans Paddled in Synchronicity.....majestic and proud with there elegant necks and Banded Eyes....seem to effortlessly sway and turn in rythmic muse as a gentle wake trailed.....

  My attention was turned to Mother Goose and her brood as the little  peeping band of yellow fluff balls followed her every move, seemingly attached with an invisible cord...

  I decided it was time for the Bread Crumbs to be shared so I began to toss some into the water, just far enough away to entice them closer......

  As they came within a meter of my toes, Mama began scolding the chicks for coming to close.....I began to giggle and reassured her that I loved her and her family.....
