Haunting deep memories of a dear love now lost
Distant thoughts to one side now carelessly tossed
But the mind retains the warm feel of sweet recall
Explosive imagination grows, like an illusion ball
Laughter and joy awake the senses so long asleep
Happiness within dreams is always there to keep
Like budding flowers suddenly ablaze with colours
Bright sparkling eyes gently roll back the shutters
Lost in the pleasure of timeless thoughts overtaking
Like the gentle flow of a rippling river’s awakening
Shining stars that lighten the darkness of the night
Memories key unlocking the richness lost from sight.
