Treasure in Time


The lines of reality blur
As I stare at the monitor, unseeing
My heart slows as I close my eyes
I am no longer here, occupying this space
But miles away on a long-ago day
- Still shots, moments out of time
- Freeze frame, fast forward, too.
- Taking me where I long to be.
- Warm rays of Sunshine
- Cool breezes of an Autumn day
I feel them blowing softly
Tantalizing aromas, warm, welcoming
Peels of laughter, children’s squeals
Park rides going, spinning dizzily
Popcorn making its merry music.
- Children and parents, families
- Couples holding hands, lovers together
- Cast of colorful, Costumed characters
- Cotton candy kisses, young and old
- Carefree, joyful
The feel of his hand holding mine
The tingle along the skin of my neck
Where he first touched me with his lips.
A flash of white in a sudden smile
A teasing glance from sable eyes.
- The prism of memory is my reality
- Vibrant colors kaleidoscoping
- In a wondrous display
- Warm feelings of love shared,
- Real forever, a treasure; a moment in time.
