~my mind wanders and wonders, winding again and again
on
to thoughts of loved ones who are now at a distance, of
those
who came in innocence and left quietly
this
time of year, i remember, recalling of how our two hearts
were
one, how our hands were intertwined into one another’s,
our
lips gently kissing, and I wiped away your tears and you
brushed
away mine
we
knew in that moment, in this world time was integral to
the
beginnings of our journey, the essence of our shared
existence until the unavoidable ending
and through this all, the path we shared, we leave footprints
for
others to walk upon, leaving their own yet knowing that we
were
there before and they too hold hands, kiss and whispering
to each other the omnipresent gentle sentiments of Love~
