Memories of You

Memories of You
You’re more than just a memory tucked deep within my heart
 you’re the brilliance of the sunrise that cues the day to start.
You’re the rustle of the wind blowing softly through the trees,
 the music of  a wind chime dancing on an evening breeze.
You’re a symphony of robins returning in the spring
 the lyrics and the melodies
 of the love songs that they sing.
You’re the freshness of a summer rain
 on a hot and humid day 
cleansing and renewing, washing the heat away.
You’re the colors of the autumn leaves
 magentas, red and gold
that lend a hint of cheerfulness
 before winter claims its’ hold.
You’re the silence of the first snowfall
 the sparkle of snowflakes
 the shimmer of the ice that creeps
 across unsuspecting lakes.
You’re the magic in a Christmas tree
 the twinkle of the lights
 the ribbons, bows and holly
 that makes the season bright.
You’re the shadow of the moon, 
the luster of the stars
the radiance of the sun telling the day to start
you’re more than just  a memory
 you’re the soul within my heart.
