Of Things Past

The wind carried the distant caws
of seagulls. They came to the valley while light rain soaked the fields and
invisible dried leaves whirled up in the night.

The drizzle made up the music
With its drops.

No human voice.

No roaring engine.

Not even the muffled flight of an airplane above.

Behind the clouds, strings of gilded memories lit up like stars.
