Traces Of You

I reach out
touch the images
left on prints of yesterday.

Memories soft as silk
caress my mind
and I drink them in
like the most pleasurable
bouquet of delights.

Once again I feel that longing
for the level of depth found
within such a free spirit

and I know

that even without
the picture held
the heart would always hold


traces of you.


If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

This made me think about how we'll all one day be remembered by those we leave behind.  A lovely read, my friend.  God bless!

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

Gentle Spirit - soft tender words. Traces, perhaps magical they are...
