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