Dancing bears
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Silver-grey hair flowing in the wind
Memories trying to resurface
Memories long forgotten
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Long brown-black hair brushing milk-white cheeks
Red silk clad arms wrapped tightly around a pale neck
Apple lips meeting cold ones
Pain, sorrow, long forgotten in this persons embrace
Swaying, turning, spinning, leaping, laughter flying everywhere,
A never ending dance of happiness, a never ending song of love
Far away
Long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
These small tid-bits of memory,
Floating like snow from a dark cloud
These things, these memories,
Of long forgotten happiness
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
