A Ripple In Time

A summer day, a gentle breeze
As butterflies float with ease
The morning dew,  the setting sun
The rising moon, and starry skies
Woven with an ethereal thread  as one
  As webs of time are  spun

A tender kiss, a hug, a smile
Moments of sweet caress
Upon the edge of time they rest
 Memories that the heart remember best

Like the flicker of a flame
Time dances with illusive grace
Making waves as years go by
Rolling like the river wild

Precious moments are like ripples in time
Echoing through the corridors of the mind
And replayed when the  reminiscent  wind
Make those golden memories chime
