Memories of green,
Take me back to warm summer days
Holidays that stretch into the forever
Of rivers teeming with fish under the bridge
Sticks and leaves float unguided through the ripples
A melancholy feeling of good days

Memories of green
Tall grass
Wimbledon common
Epsom downs
Distant views of London
Another life
Let loose to breathe the fresh air

Memories of green
Hastings, Great Yarmouth, Weymouth, Brighton, Littlehampton
Kites and beach balls blown on the coastal breezes
Flag flutter gently
Warm days
Warm nights
Red skies at night
Excitement of walking in the dark
Flashing torches
Missing steps and falling into black
Laughing aloud

Memories of green
Morning dew
Bird song
Warmth of a new day
Exploring woods
Rivers and boats
Frogs and tadpoles
Newts and grass snakes
Lakes and ponds
Rocks and hills
Holidays that stretch into the forever
