Stirrings

 

Sometimes when it's quiet and no one else is near,
I visit my collection of memories I hold dear.
No, it's not a box of photographs, or something you can see,
But something quite intangible, that lives inside of me.

The magic of Christmas is prominent,
In this invisible collage of mine.
The tree and decorations; scents of cinnamon and pine.
A nightime stroll as snow falls; the houses brightly lit;
Returning home to smiles and warmth,
Sipping hot cocoa as I sit.

Picnics in the country with a loving family;
The sun shines down, the air so fresh,
A field of daisies beckons me.
Birds, chirping at my window, greeting the early morn.
Flowers as they begin to bloom, as Springtime now is born.

Autumn, in it's glory, with leaves of red and gold;
Indescribable beauty! Nature's gift so bold!
Opening a box of crayons, with colors all so bright!
The possibilities endless, on a page of white.

Tiny flashes of memory,untainted and so pure,
These scents and sounds and sights,
Still have the same allure.
So, if you have that special place, go visit for awhile~
For they stir the imagination, and bring a nostalgic smile!
