Thanks chaps and chapesses!
Just to answer Mneme's comment there, yeah I suppose it does read quite melancholy in places, but it wasn't meant to. Mind you, it's hardly that happy either, is it?!!

I like this one. . .

Thanks folks -
You're right, MC, there must remain an element of mystery - I suppose that enables people to make of it what they will.

rather intriguing and famous last lines.
whatever you are really trying to convey, it is well put, and you keep us guessing, which is part of the appeal, although, some clarification would be good, but then, it might be deliberate on your part, since this is in part whimsical, mystical and personal, keep the mystery alive...

Fair comment, Troosha. They're three separate observations, all based
on actual events. The dream section, the first four lines, is really just about the typical nostalgic dreams we all have from time to time. The second four lines, and the next four lines, are both actual events in real life, recalled.

Tony
I’m confused – was this a dream or a series of actual events? Regardless it was a fabulous read.
