A decade, a shirt and an island

by Jem Croucher

Part 9 of 20 in ‘The Aegean Shores’ series

It’s ten years gone since last I walked
on this ancient cobbled stone
Yet familiarity presides
and it feels like coming home
I even wore the shirt I bought
all those years ago
For I could find another one
I might, you never know

The sun’s the same, the city too
though I’m a little older
But revisiting has its benefits
as my stride is somewhat bolder
