REFLECTION
KEEPSAKES
​
Carry keepsakes from this place,
keep them warm in the boll of your memory –
the leaf-pattern of your walk
a puff of thistledown
the glint of rowan
a fleck of silver birch
the touch of loch-polished stone
the scent of rain
a seedpod like a firefly of light
hold them close,
touch them often.
