Upon the Winds of Time

My poetic meme was inspired by a special place where we lived in the suburbs of Riga, Latvia. It was a small stream that looked lovely in all seasons frozen still in winter, coming alive in spring with wildflowers nearby, a shady place in the summer, and in autumn leaves like little ships sailed upon it, I had mentioned this stream before but could not find a photo of it, Now I discovered this poetic meme and you can see this special place. It was back behind houses a place suspended somewhere in time and when you were there you could not imagine that a large major roadway was just some steps away. There were rocks and tree stumps to sit upon and in the spring and summer birds twittered and animals like squirrels scampered about. Today I thought about how time moves on and for me, it means once May is over I will be marching in all the painful yet lovely memories of past summers.

@RasmaSandra A little frustrating as usual. Another concrete/railing guy didn't show up.

What a peaceful and lovely small stream. What is written it is so true.

@RasmaSandra I love places where there are no people, just to walk and enjoy the sound of the nature.

That does look a lovely place indeed and extra special if it's a little oasis in the middle of suburbia.

Lovely poem..I am sure your memories of that time are all bitter sweet. You are still a young woman though. Your life doesn't have to be over, unless you want it to be.

I wish I had had a cell phone with its convenient camera when I was younger and found those little streams and such places when I ventured around in the mountains. So many little spots lost to nature now.

@jnrdutton actually it all looks larger than life but was just a little small stream and a few feet from the roadway

@HaruLoid these and many other places are never known to tourists because they travel to see Riga and the city is all they see plus the tourist objects unless someone takes them elsewhere
