I always love reading your poems, Marion. You have again created a frame and arranged within it elements such as those little memories that constitute the stream of life. Beautiful image. Well done and thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Strider. :)
Yes, this was inspired by walks in the forest around the Mountains of Mourne, less than five kilometres from my home on the coast of Northern Ireland.
