Twisted candles, cinnamon toast
Books with yellow spine
My name inside
(I’d written there)
When I was young and the world was mine.
Beneath the pine, on needles there
Each afternoon, I’d hide
The mysteries of a simpler life
Would ebb and flow
In a narrative tide.
As shadows fell across the page
A ribbon held my place
Carried home on storied wings
Dreams of candle wax
And cinnamon on my face.

Oh, me tooooo!!! 🤗

I always loved Nancy Drew as a child. I think I read all her books 🙂

Loved Nancy Drew. Read every book. And escape, to be sure, but also a model of what a self-assured, motivated, and organized young woman could accomplish. Not sure I had any of those three, but a girl can dream!
