Close your eyes
Boarding passes ready
Plush velvet quilts
Mugs of mocha java
Purring fur child at your feet
Close your eyes
Summer breezes
Sticky watermelon
A smoky barbeque haze
Giggles and splashes
Close your eyes
Find the magic
Feel the wonder
Unearth past joys
Turn them into walking phantoms
Open your eyes
Discover the living colours
A vivid harmony
Cast by your hands
As vision and memories unite
