I Remember Spring

Writer's digest PAD Challenge 14:

For today’s prompt, write a memory poem.

I remember spring

The green of love and life

 Where thought unfurled a wonder-world

Of dream-streams running rife 

I remember spring

When time seemed on my side

Before it drew youth's years into

Its unrelenting tide

I remember spring

Uninhibited grin

Before the scars from fallen stars

Etched wisdom's start within 

I remember spring

Then summer came and went

Now Autumn's leaf I know is brief

Ere I am winter-bent

(optional)

I am Autumn-content

Long gone, spring's budding trees

That soft unfurled a wonder-world

Of moments such as these

or

Of precious memories
