remember my song

when i depart from this Earthly sojourn

will you remember me for the words i wrote

those which i spoke and that which i did,

for those who i chose to walk beside that

shared a common tone and some that didn’t,

the hugs and embraces, the gift of friendship?

shall my legacy withstand the scrutiny of your

memory of me whilst we became disheartened

with each other’s unfulfilled expectations, then

yielding angered words flung at each other

or will you remember the hearty laughs we

shared, the quiet tears and subtle smiles?

will you remember the music that i played on

my guitar, the songs i sang for me and for you,

the dances we danced, the holding of hands when

we walked along the river’s bend and sandy beeches

between our toes until the crimson Sun laid down 
to rest in the horizon, the Moon then smiled at us?

i know that wherever my soul resides in its next

abode and if by chance it maintains the mundane

spirit of memory, it will remember all this but

most of all it will recall that we bathed each other

in Love. soon our souls will be as one, again
