A Spring In Winter

Time has changed as the wind takes away some things..
There are so many good times shared but a few still sing..
The streets are empty where we once walked and got lost..
The chairs and tables are away and on the cafe door a light frost..
My stomach drops a bit as each turn I take spring comes back..
The people have gone from the dock where we shared cocktails
and oysters for a snack..
I don't regret an hour, a minute or a second of a time when it 
was just us..
But life came through the door and all was wiped away by words
and a love lost..
Whatever is gained or lost though time , moments we shared can't
be taken away..
Thank you so much for coming across my mind and making me
smile on this winter day..

A beautiful write on memories treasured Michael.. Sometimes they just pop up out of the blue and bring a smile to your face.. That's why I reckon the good times should be treasured whether things worked out or not.. love Wilma
