Why is it I keep rewinding memory spool to those


Why is it I keep rewinding
memory spool to those days 
that in present context
bears little meaning....
burst of scarlet Easter lillies 
in fenced gardens we'd pick
and present to class teacher
all throughout spring
Or those garlands of jasmine
all summer assailed nostrils
with needle and thread we'd string
and then hang with reverence
on photo frames of loved ones 
we'd never met, just heard about
great grand parents long since dead.
And morning walks through
thicket fields, cows grazing mooing
inviting to share their meal
waiting for the train's whistle
carrying coal, speeding on
the twin tracks, where we'd
place one pice copper coins
with a hole, no more seen
flattened by the carriage wheels
kids with free reigns to do 
as would please...just few of the many
childhood preserved memories!
