Rare Moments Sublime
Gentle spring breezes softly sweep across my mind
Bring rare moments sublime I could not lately find,
Waft unexpected by the chamber of my now,
Making me ask myself why strange winds care, and how
Spirits of bygone times and places come anew
Bearing forgotten long-past pleasantries with you,
My love, my dearest, now gone to another place
How much I long to relive, to touch your sweet face.
Incidents I could not remember way back when
Or where, picked up in the passing sigh just then,
Like surf, quickly as the warm breezes sweep away
My sandcastles, startles collapse my fragile clay
Without lingering the breezes came and went, while
Happily, I relished the mem’ries with a smile.
