One Perfect Day

if the gods granted you just one perfect day to last you a lifetime what would you do with the memory of it? savor it like a fine wine some delicious, delectable treat? or mourn its loss? the past is gone. or live for it, never leaving it behind always seeking to recapture it? Or hold it in your heart like the golden gift it is? Sunlight in your pocket to finger lightly on a rainy day reminding you that love was perfect once. and offering hope that it might be again.Stairway to Heaven - Mist Trail to Vernal Falls, Yosemite 2004
