Memories (Lucy's challenge)

The hilltops covered in pristine white snow
Sunlight glistening off silver tipped peaks
And yet nature’s beauty does not show
As much elegance as your body speaks

The corners of your mouth rise up to smile
A light in your eyes brighter than the sun
All the time spent in your arms so worthwhile
A magical feeling compared to none

I capture moments in my heart to save
To hold me through times when you are not there
For your loving touch is all that I crave
When life’s priorities leave none to spare

So now I sit with memories in mind
Waiting to create more of the same kind

Hi Cloudy

If this has been a struggle, then you've coped with it amazingly well! A really fine sonnet both in content and on a technical level.
