Photo taken by me at the Tower of London.
The story-teller in Dublin told me that untold stories are lost stories.
I've lost
the precious photos
with their stories of adventures
and my feelings of wanting to reach you.
My stories won't be lost
because I will absolutely never forget them
I'll write them a thousand times in my memory
and tell them in hopes that
you'll hear them.
And I shall
find the Lost Stories, too
on treasure hunts
in battered and ivy-covered castles
and in the swans' story-time
I'll gather them together
and tell them to you, too.
Yes, starting today
I'll work harder than ever
to reach for you.

I'm back from my adventure in England and Ireland, but I regret to say that most of my photos have disappeared.
