memories lost

Memories fall like snow
Softly without a sound
They make paths of pure white
glimmering like diamonds the sunlight
Fresh and frosty feelings to be embraced
Cold, but sweet is the taste

But watch as it turns to storms
Nightmares awaken and monsters spawn
Creatures of guilt and greed plague the mind
Sounds of the wind howling in rage
That one piece of you locked in the cage
Fear jabs right at the heart

All has calmed in the field of gray
The touch of blue sprinkles down
Only to become tears of sorrow
Ripples form in the puddles with reflections seen
The image fades as fast as it appears
