Windmills

A memory turns
   the windmills of the mind
 to a season of summer breeze,
   where happiness blows 
cherished moments
 into youthful hearts
    the windmill turns once more
 to a season defined by
   falling leaves
 where love endures
    in  hues of red and gold
 the windmill spins 
   to distant winter winds
 where, by cozy fireplaces
    love finds a warm embrace
             ..
