Poem from a Young Geezer

Come gather round
in the dust of time, as
tales unfold with
campfire songs at night
where stars mottle the
blackness, their diamond
pricks teasing bands
of memory

ah, family times- swimming
in Ontario’s cold Nottawassaga Bay,
gondolas climbing the
side of heart stopping Sulphur
Mountain, Alberta, green
growth among PEI potatoes
Cabot Trail curves in NS,
rocky soil at Northern
Quebec and swishing wheat,
golden across flat
Saskatchewan

the glory of BC Rockies,
scenic pastures in
Manitoba, Newfoundland
NB, my wife’s home
all like gravy over
the goodness of memories.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
