Nostalgia of Mind and Body
The spring brings to me the quivering muses
deep within the cavity of my creativity
A nostalgic naivete rustles its way to the surfaced
bridge of my ribcage
The whistle of the birds echos beneath my solar plexus,
evoking a flurry of childlike sentiments
Another puff of citric haze and I am dancing
further through the biological and cosmic
unison of sense and memory
Like a young Keroac I am on the road within my mind,
traveling back in time to the distant reaches of
my cranial wonderland
I long for the leaves of my dappled youth;
The fresh droplets of sun clinging to my lashes as
I reconcile with daylight and for the way
the spring hit my nose and laid indentation to the fabrics of
sense and being

The nose can house over fifty thousand different scents, each scent housing memories of their own. But when we encounter a particular smell which sends us back in time, we can hardly place its significance. So stop to smell the metaphorical roses. Stop to smell the delights of past adventures, past loves, and past regrets. Inhale life for what it is- a mystery.
