Treasure

Treasure

Sometimes you witness something

Quite splendid

You store the memory

Like a treasure

To bring out on dark days

To remind yourself how vivid life is

You are like that

I knew as soon as I saw you

That the sun lives in your heart

I wasn’t ready for your eyes

Oceans of kindness

Or for you walking with crystal swords in hand

As you coloured the world

In brighter shades than I’d seen before

Sometimes you meet someone

Quite splendid

I stored the memory
