In the stillness of the dawn I found myself at the site of my childhood home, a sight so soothing and hauntingly hopeful. Soft pink summer rays of the sun seeping through the lace curtains nods an assent at my arrival as I make my ascent to a flight of stairs that seemed like an endless carousel ride. I opened the door to my old bedroom and with bated breath I stepped inside, baited by the fond memories of my sojourn there. Recollections of youth allude to secret fantasies a young heart could not elude. Suggestions of peace warm my heart as I am brought back to this piece of memory cradling me like a long forgotten lullaby. Oh happy day! I had not imagined that a peek into my old childhood room would pique such wistful echoes of wonders past leaving me once again like it did many years ago… breathless!
