It was as if I could read his thoughts, for his eyes conveyed an unquestionable sense of peace and contentment.
His life, having been a very full and happy one, seemed to leave him with nothing... Read Full Story
Driving down the narrow, winding road my heart leapt as I approached the old town hall I’d remembered so well. I had finally ventured back to the little town where I’d grown up so long ago.
I had intended for so many years to return there. It has always possessed some of the most cherished memories of my life and had for some time aroused a sentimental curiosity within me.

as the able train chugs down the track,
I gaze out it’s window
green trees and blue sky
as they’re ever so quickly
