emily, history, legacy, life, life well lived, love, memory, this isn't depressing, time
is a part of me
forsaken
when my name
no longer sounds –
when photographs
are scattered
to the wind
when dates
are worn to nothing –
but a mark upon the stone
when the burden
of remembrance –
fails to mend
will there be the one
who wonders still
to places I was loved –
to find my words
a whisper saved
will there I love
again

too soon
the rush –
of stars to flight
of lullabies
rehearsed –
warming how our hearts
were broken through
beyond the bend
a river flows –
in rifts of joy
and sorrow
lines are stretched
to frame an endless blue
there you are
awaiting –
with wishes for us here
where love remains
with every thought of you
. . .
for daddy
four years and counting
the days between

she lingered
as a presence –
a prayer
before the dawn
as the music
of her sighs
became his song
he lingered
with each twilight –
without fault
she dared repeat
– as a kiss
became a memory
just as sweet
twas never less
for letting –
love remains
as proof we are
where she lingers
still he lingers
as a light
between the stars
. . .

I know the psalms
each word by heart
written somewhere
tho I’ve forgotten why
love resounds
eternally
the best of me
without a note to play
I dare not sing
unburdened bliss –
I give away
the truth
becoming more
than ever someone else
someone still
could say
how it is you made of me
something more than words
something more
within each sweet
refrain
. . .

these
are the verses
speaking my life –
too many more
I dare not complain
of the ways
I may go without saying
a word
breath I might find
has forgotten my name
– the smell
of blackberries
left on the vine
. . .

when all my days
are nothing –
but a soothing breeze recalled
when memory has left
the only ones
remained of all
I loved
I loved completely –
with life
til I was sore
who will tell the story best
of all the days
before
who will know
to worry –
for purpose yet undone
as those endeared
beside me lay –
and those resolved
to stone
will e’er my shadow
linger
in places not so far –
or will my name
become a prayer
wherever lovers are
. . .

who will tell
of morning mists
when I have wandered on
beyond the tempt
of story
into another dawn
who will write
and who will speak
for those denied a voice
who will know
of ways they keep –
by destiny
or choice
what song
the dove
remembers well –
for another one she flies
by touch
a stand of cedars –
holds each star
against the sky
what history
the river lays
along a path of pines
who will bear
their stories home
when light
has tempered mine
. . .

of ways
I have not many
but to be
as I was meant
– some solace
to the fallen
I repent
the blessing
come of letting
– the bliss
of leaning in
to places unforgotten
I ascend
to wonder
where
and what might be
– for this
will I return
as colors into maple
rivers burn
remember me
to shadows –
sweetest breath
within the cold
of breaking –
there the beauty
– taking hold
as nothing more
for only this –
such truth
as love revealed
a sigh
within the silence
holds me still
. . .
Author’s Note: Inspired by All Saints Sunday. What remembrance
shall hold you yet? ♥

when voice
is forgotten
might words have their say
and sit in the silence
of dreams
fastened to longing
as a string to the sky
where wishes float
back to the last
lonely night
when names
are forgotten
but fortunate few
are gifted a side
in the telling
might then I be known
as a star sailed away
or stillness where
echoes one voice
