Music Box River



The river sings a song for pebbles
from the bank of wild daisies, white.
I cast them in, with a grin,
and much to my delight,
it plays my favorite memories
of you and me and lavender
on honeysuckle nights.

music box river - a lovely melodious phrase with an enduring recall-to-mind kind of quality to it, I think.

This actually brought back a lot of memories for me. I used to spend hours upon hours playing by the stream as a little boy on sweltering summer days :)
