Reminiscing


Jack Dikian
April 2012
(Postcard from Ballina)

Isn’t it funny how we always return to days so long ago. We look back at the things we used to know. The things we used to do, the things we used to say, the memories dear and true. The poems we used to read and how they made us feel.

The thoughts of Nanushka always help and here is one to read.

"A SOLITARY seagull
rides home
on a shaft of golden sun - 
our beautiful day
is melting into dusk -
pink clouds
fade back to sombre grey
and your dear face 
is touched with gold -
why should we mourn 
the passing of our day
because we know
the night
belongs to us."
