would I wait
beneath the falls
that separate these worlds I know –
forgotten to the summers
we were spring
forsaken for a lifetime
the way the water moved –
the sound of laughter
bare feet on the path

remembered not the reason
for promised come again –
names have shifted
granite worn away –
forgotten was the life
I swore to never leave behind
a hand within my hand
I let to fall

unlikely as the first snowflake
blown to mid-July
as autumn grasses gathered
to the sea
returning now
if only for a moment –
you were come
into this place
again (remember me)

e’er breath return
with only one condition –

crazy –
how it happens (still)
a moment so familiar –
the taste that was a name
becomes a sigh
