I am from the season of memories
where lilac scents filled the air
depending on when and where
the breeze was blowing on any given day
a place where the suns golden rays
shone down on apple blossoms
covered in dew
and when each new day
held journeys anew.

Orchards stretched out
for miles and miles
and days passed by
so full of smiles.

I traveled down roads
where Autumn brought
the most beautiful scenes,
then melded into
snow drifts untouched,
lovely and pristine;

the cycles of life
circled round and round
until they brought me
to this place that I've found

where the simplest of joys
bring me such peace,
where seasons of memories
are not released

but rather, are cherished
deep in the heart
because they are truly
an intricate part
of where I have been
and all the things I have seen.

Where I'm from will always be
held in spirit, inside of me.

{repost from an old Pip challenge}

"In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things."

These words emit such a harmonious tune while being read that I saw myself almost floating through the seasons of memories together with you, admiring the view.

Wonderful write! I am happy you brought it back for us to enjoy, dear Donna.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you sweet Lady. I've not written anything new in such a long time but have missed my pip friends so much I just pulled some old favorites out to post until my muse returns.

Thanks sweetie!

Gentle Spirit: this work speaks to my soul.  Your lines "...the cycles of life
circled round and round
until they brought me
to this place that I've found

where the simplest of joys
bring me such peace,..." perfectly describe my life (and outlook) today.
Many thanks for a peaceful and beautiful work.

Donna, I don't remember this so am delighted you brought it back.
It is a soothing and comforting piece, like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a chilly morning.

where the simplest of joys
bring me such peace,
where seasons of memories
are not released

What a wonderful place to find. *S* This is beautiful work, dear lady! *S*
