    1 year ago

    Sunlit dreamy days
    Float through golden summer haze
    Into memory

    Musky amber scents
    Swirl in sultry wistful air
    Infusing my mind

    White virgin snowdrops
    Winter’s gems whisper to me
    Immortality

    Exquisite diction, superb control of meter, and a resonant theme. Who could ask for more?
