knew me once before
you did –
though different now
of other places
I can’t say
what became of roads
took us far from then –
into the lives we live today

some might scoff
I have no evidence at all –
is that faith
(denied the proof)
nights I listen
to the wind
against the chimes –
plays a song I sang
for you

more than this –
another season just as sweet
distant paths we walked along –
laughter ringing
into echoes of today
familiar love
as I’ve become

words rewritten
did I write them once before
left to leaves –
their purpose bare
fall anew upon the place
I walk the same
souvenirs of me somewhere

quiet smile
in the middle of my days
words pretend they didn’t know
where I’d be
and what you meant to me
or when –
came the truth
with none to show

fingers trace the curve
of essence given ink –
another presence called to mind
love before I knew
of love I hold apart –
finds another me
this time
