Wine

Wine

There's a meadow hidden deep
within the dark recesses of your mind
where all the happy memories
are stored for you to find
and all the dreams and wishes
you thought you'd left behind
are waiting like buried treasure
stored within the vaults of time
and memories float on gossamer wings
weaving golden threads of thoughts sublime
that dance and frolic on the tongue
and taste of salty tears
and love's sweet wine.
— Rett, Dec 25, 2008

This is a lovely little

This is a lovely little Christmas gift Rett, it has a beautiful flow... "and all the dreams and wishes you thought you’d left behind are waiting like buried treasure stored within the vaults of time" I find comfort in those lines, thank you Rett & merry Christmas! ~Stella

Hi Rett

This flows beautifully. A lot of hidden memories came to the surface today in our long conversation with our 'children' over Christmas lunch. Personally I would take 'the' out of the penultimate line of this poem, but you of course are the boss. Best wishes, Robert.

Yes we are rich

We can never be bored, specially us, poetic people, who dwell on such thoughts and plumb the depths to find the almost hidden gems that gave us meaning, joys and pains alike. I liked this one Rett, Respectfully Ann
