~ Remember me ~
If for some chance you may remember me,
then look down the Avenues, and in the
gas lamps; Where the yellow of the night glows,
and only imagine me walking with you...
If you think of the times we walked down the
beach, and find yourself walking alone; Then
remember the day we spent looking for luck
with the dollar shells...
If you somehow sense the presence of me
in feeling, and in scent, or in taste; Only look
towards the sky, and remember that nothing
ever completely can be explained...
I will hope that when you read this post,
you will miss me, and only know that now; I
am where I belong, and where it is I am is
very far away, but never too pale to show
you these flowers as memory...

How absolutely moving this poem is. The first and last stanza are particularly beautiful. I love poetry and write a bit so will also be following this blog now too Jesse

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
ReplyDeleteGone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me;
you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
Lovely words!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers!!!
Kiss!

SoCalWendie,
ReplyDeleteWOW!
I felt lifted and carried away with these words, like the strong current takes the moving wind through the great plains, and traveling around the mountains...
Like the words have life of their own...
:)
