Emotions of My Soul

The emotions of my soul remain 
in memories capsuled in time
From that very first moment
on a pure-white winter's day

A fallen stardust scattered
from birth-silk sky upon 
moon-kissed shores

Showering peasant nights
and hope-filled dreams
with a heart holding manna 
so supple and clean.

Destiny drew her a map to  
forgotten footprints in the sand
where campfires kept 
cold fingers and hearts warm

That's where she sparkled
That's where she shined
drifting ever deeper
in the recesses of my mind

Lost eyes and souls
ever faithfully entranced  
love finally finding
a home to rest.

Futures were written along-side
a crimson half-moon glow
in an infinite indigenous sky

Producing a forever paradise
flowing like the finest of wines
until the last precious drop
of indelible ink runs dry

It certainly is easy to get lost in a memory. Nicely penned, Tim. Campfires always provide for warm memories:)
