In youth I flew for today didn't matter,

setting out on some bold journey

like soft downy feathers

ready to take flight,

 

amusing ourselves,

resembling pillow fights

exploding with adventure

locked into kooky endeavours,

living on the edge before growing up,

 

we left rainbow pleasures

down each winding road,

collaboration of friends

on their own vivid travels,

 

spoke of sad treasured goodbyes

still flowing after all this time,

but world keeps turning and

I'll keep remembering,

 

breathing in those whispers

locked into brief memories,

born from faraway longings

that twinkle both clear then faint

of half-hidden younger days.

Thank you so much for your kind comment Di.

I was remembering my younger days and thought of how much like feathers exploding from a pillow we were. All those feathers drifting in different directions, not really worrying about where we landed just living in the moment and seeing where they took us. HAPPY DAYS.

I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciate your thoughts so much.

Jenny.

Hey Jenny, I was wondering if you would be interested in allowing me to read some of your stuff online? I am considering starting a Youtube channel, to kind of promote my stuff a little, but to also examine some other writers and even some classic stuff as well as contemporary news stories that I find to be interesting. It will be a couple months before it happens, and of course I won't do it without your permission. I don't even know if you care about being published, or if you are trying to. There wouldn't be any money in it for you (or me) but it might put you out there a little more, in the public eye. Uh...let me know. I won't be offended at all if you are not interested. :)

Wow! GGHades502, I would be honoured to have you read my writing on youtube. I've never written for money, just enjoy having somewhere to put my work is the best feeling in the world.

Please let me know how it goes, I'd be really interested.

Jenny.

Hi Trevor,

there's such a special feeling about living life to the full when you're young. I think I must have had an amazing guardian angel watching over me with some of the situations I got myself into and came out the other side unscathed.

Thank you sio much for reading and letting me know your thoughts.

Jenny.

A nice backward glance at the age of innocence, Nostalgia always makes for good reading, Jenny.

Glad you liked the idea of feathers and rainbow pleasures Rachel. I always felt light as a feather during my younger days with so much freedom, we were so lucky.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read and let me know.

Jenny.

This was splendid, Jenny. Perked me up a bit over morning coffee. And after these past five months I can use all the perking up I can find. Really lovely.

Hi there Rich,

glad I could give you a lift, there's nothing like a bit of perking up! wink I know what you mean about the last five months, very strange times we're living in. I bet you're like me, glad you were young when you were, just think of all that freedom we had compared to now.

Many thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. Hope you and your family are keeping well.

Take care.

Jenny. x smiley

P S Nearly forgot, good luck with the reading on Thursday.
