Where gleam of light, in shadow plays
upon a spanse of open floor,
a glimpse of some old memory
un-spools its' own enchanted lore.

In visions taken from a book,
superbly crafted long ago,
replay the storied lives of folk,
and evil they would overthrow.

Diminutive, at first appear
the stature of these time-worn scenes,
yet, somehow they've retained, intact,
a clarity I draw from, here.

Where gleam of light in shadow plays
against the back-drop of the floor,
some old familiar characters
relive those scenes, as once before.

The lore of love holds it's own enchantment and sparkles in your thoughts here.
Nice write.

And I, for one, am glad you do!

'a glimpse of some old memory

I find this thought simply enchanting~

"a glimpse of some old memory

agree with Marge...this line is just too cool! every once in a while you run across a line or thought that you wish you had penned or thought...this is one of those times...

Please excuse my delay in replying,
I'd completely lost track of this one 'til it popped up in my library.

ThisDiamond,
Thank you so much.

Enchantress,
I'm glad you liked.

Martie,
I don't know if I'll ever become accustomed to having my words quoted back to me, while it's certainly a compliment, it still makes me a little uncomfortable. Analytically, I guess I'm just not that comfortable with compliments in the first place. All that aside, and still, thank you.

Marge,
"Memories are made of this". Thanks m'dear.

steavener,
Thanks. "un-spools" just seemed to be the right word in this context.

passing shadows.
Thank you again.

nakdthoughts,
Glad you liked.

LeeJ,
Thank you much.

Doc
