Sitting alone with memories whispering in the silence, soft
Echoes of footsteps; faint echoes of laughter;
Fragrant echoes of Roses, fading
In the afterglow of twilight’s receding –
Beloved faces and forms waiting to be recalled
As the eternal moon and stars rise
To greet moments remembered, written
By the heartbeats of love’s splendor, long past
The shadows of midnight’s recalling.
Wait for me once more, eyes alight with greeting,
Mouth pursed with a thousand kisses,
Arms throbbing with longing to close around me
As night encases the love-light in your eyes.
Memories fade from the mind; but
The soul never forgets a love born
From the endless corridors of LIGHT.
