Painted Memories

I am retired to my daydreams
Of memories that shift in the breeze
And wander with colors of sunlight
And change with what I believe

The colors of love are so warming
The browns and the blues, all aglow
I cherish the moments remembered
And retreat into what I did know

The light in the room turns darker
The colors and their meaning burn low
The sepia tones make me lonesome
And search for the colors I know

The memories I paint are in colors
Of water, with rain overhead
They're gone in an instant, forgotten
I'd rather look forward, instead
