Things That Are

Treehouse, Lüneburg, Germany.

March 2012.

She was the fairest

And her eyes shone of blue

I first fell in the autumn term

There was nothing I could do

School lovers swarmed

Around the courtyard wall

Then walked up

The rapture road aglow

I saw her again last summer

Where the hard rains fall

The grass grew long around her feet

Where the years took their toll

She once meant the world to me

But we by-passed destiny

On the road not taken

The road unknown

(Runrig - Things That Are)

I've just finished packing my clothes and gear for my trip to Berlin. Earlier today, I went over to my mum's place in Lüneburg, an hour's drive from Hamburg, where I enjoyed good food and walked our dog. He's almost twelve years old now, and he won't be around for many more months to come. That's why I brought my camera to take a few pictures of him. When I passed by that treehouse, it brought back memories from my childhood. Memories of friends I haven't seen in years, memories of songs that meant a lot to me back then (I used to listen to the Beatles, and my dog's name is Ringo), and a lot of other things. 

Have a nice weekend, and talk to you soon.
