i will remember this
when i am lost –
as the start of something old
a breath once cleft
returning to my skin
i shall recall
this morning after
each tender smile
across the page –
a moment stretched
eternity fell in
i will remember
when there is nothing
save the echo of your name
a piece of land
a place i lay you down
i will walk this earth
until my final sigh
becomes the wind
i will remember this
as the moment
i was found

. . .
