You

Posted on October 4, 2015 by russtowne

You

Seemingly from out of nowhere

Thoughts of you drift gently into my mind.

They linger for moments then fade away

As dew on a sunny day.

Leaving a small and wistful smile in their wake.

The journey from heart and mind

And back again

In an instant and a lifetime.
