a treasure chest

a treasure chest.

full of the best.

the hunt begins... a travel way way back

into the late 1800's to follow that track...

to the present day generation.

pictures taken, stories written, to further feed my imagination.

i know much i shall find and lose myself in all that shall be

and through all that was kept in the treasure chest see... 

the glory of bygone days, an era... a time forgotten... lost.

modernisation... at the mercy of technological growth the cost

of much i wish was still around,

of much i wish would abound.

a class an elegance a respectability

 in the stories the photos captured, a civility.

deep, in the treasure chest i shall lose me

to travel through records and items, an old world see,

time will stand still, and, allow for an unhurried discovery

of the richness of what was, a desirous recovery.
