Recollect

Do you think ahead with wonder

With a curiosity and hunger

Of what may soon occur?

It befalls us with a blur

Before we notice it is gone

And then we muse later on...

Can you recollect a time

When the moment was sublime

And you wished the scene would freeze

So you could memorize and believe

That the moment was almost perfect...

Do you capture times of laughter

In moments wrapped in rapture

With someone your heart recollects

As one with whom to connect

All the world's adventures...

Like tiny petals falling while in bloom

The memories whisk away some gloom

And land gently where oft

They collect in my thoughts
