Quiet Remembrance

I gaze across the horizon
the sunshine warms my face,
my mind slowly drifts away
to another time, another place.

We walked along softly talking,
laughing, and holding hands.
Your eyes searched into my soul
well I feel deeper into a trance.

With you I felt so many things
that I had never felt before,
there were so many mixed emotions
and yet, still, there was so much more.

You showed me how to trust,
how to take, and not just give.
You taught me the realities of love,
while my spirit learned to live.

These gifts I hold here in my heart,
and in my heart they shall always stay.
Today I contemplate about tomorrow,
in quiet remembrance of yesterday.

I know that you can 'read' me
but can you  'hear'  "me"?

Many will hear this one, Donna...
it speaks not just to one type of relationship,
but to many.
Well done, m'dear...

Exactly. I love the honest twist of an old saying.

Yes, many of us can relate to this one, Donna.  So very tenderly written, my friend. *hugs*

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
