Yes I remember
Or it is better to say
I recall how I wanted
It to be

There are sparrows
And other marvels
Filling the sky
With their wanderings
While swans in pairs
Glide along the shore

There is trust
In my fidelity
An understanding
That some men are brave
And capable of love

That the world
Travels its nights
Lit by brilliant stars
The moon shines

Through long years
An autumn breeze
Ruffles your hair
Over the collar
Of your coat

Beautiful imagery, fine writing.

The stanza that opens is perfect, sets up the poem, and the readers mind for whats to come..

I am amazed by your talent to paint a scene with so little pigment..and yet
through your brush strokes, the world, in increments, is explained.
