Sweet Memory

My sweet memories lie buried

Beneath the sand

Left on the long winding road

Gems, jewels, treasures,

All abandoned along the way

At some forgotten time

When their weight was too daunting

When the stars turned dim

Moments like no other,

Sunsets before the mountains

The flowing waves at the shore

Snow covering every tree like crystal

The warmth of bonfire and fine company

Kisses and the perfect embrace

Of lovers in the night,

Special words designed for the eyes

Of only a few,

All nothing more than a note

In the hymn that keeps playing on and on.
