Impressionable – Word of the Day

The Memory Remains
The dusky room of worn out boards
and endless drone,
where colour fades
and nothing glows,
whiskey days and ash trays,
stale air and chatter.
And as I gazed out on the world
of thunderstorm
and greyed sky,
I saw a momentary flutter.
And there in this dour sea,
a flash of blue so vivid,
it jolted
my heart awake,
a flood of joy so strong,
the memory remains,
and hope, I sensed,
emerging.

We have blue wrens visit our garden – and yes, it is a jolt to realise what you’re seeing! Such a brief rush of colour, such a delight in a world of mundanes and plains – the flash! thanks, Paul.
