Swaying Memories

It's been long since I've been there
on that other plane, in a realm of square
where I saw you, that late night's eve
when we then first began to believe

That dreams could be reality and

Reality could be seen in the dream

The times were good, the gifts, serene
laughter came, and in love, careened
we bent to sway the music our way
until the time of that fateful day

And your dream of real went one way

And real the dream you could not sway

Now held in thin silver lover's knot
are kept the visions that were sought
and from a plane long left behind
fondly recall the days you were mine

Soft echoes from that plane skim along
catch me, caught now with loss of song
and I wonder aloud if I truly belong
or if my reality has all been wrong

And quietly I recall

When the dream of real went our way

And real the dream of love did sway

My goodness but that tugs at my heartstrings.

This brought a smile to my face. These were such beautiful words.

Cold hands means a warm heart

My Sister,

I know these familar words.  Yes, they are mine. Except with eloquence of pen you bring that I have yet to find.

With pasts so same, our paths were destined to meet.

Love,
Sis

Karilea

Time changes so many things, and yet some things stay the same, like the emotive beauty of this poem.

Karilea, that was one of the lovliest poems I've read.

Where, or what, would we be, if it were not for our memories?

So touching!
