Childhood memories
Christmas time
My father’s trains…
Whole worlds rendered in HO scale
Gray scale memories in miniature
Invoked by Claudio Mufarrege’s photo
Timeless but not trackless
So long ago…
Eyes closed now to find:
Kaleidoscopic images shard into my mind
Joy at age 6
Simple times
Bright colors
Laughter
mingles with the smell of beer
and Marlboro smoke
Family gathering
Tree decorating!!!
Smell of pies baking
Cookies cookies cookies!!!
Feelings of warmth
Of being special, for a moment
Looking up to Dad
Rare moments
associated always with
trains, smoke, and misty memories.
Thank you Claudio Mufarrege
For the unexpected ride
Into memories of time long gone bye
Simpler, sharper, now clear again
