What Remains
Orginally penned December 2, 2010
These words of mine
I leave behind
Scattered upon the places
of past stepped traces
a scattering of memories made
penned in shades of ink's stain
that they may remain
in heart's glade
Lost in the clouds of doubt
the moon hides its face
As the ink from the page melts through this place
The heart grows cold as a mountain air
across the waters of time
The mournful call of death is hard to bear
when the inked pages no longer rhyme
spans of hands can no longer reach
when death has called it far from me
will you still be able to read
above beyond the clouds where I stand alone beneath
will the pages matter
after the fact
of the aftermath
or will they blow like leaves washed in shades of reverie
From beyond the clouds my heart grows cold
looking upon you from beyond the seas
Wanting to see the words in ink so bold
Blowing in the oceans breeze
To hold you on that snowy sand
Is all I long for now
This darkness is so hard to stand
As I see you bow
The grave is cold and soon forgotten
As our life together on the pages of ink
Sands fill your footprint spots and
Your thoughts of me will be gone in a blink
never for what is etched upon heart
death can naught set apart
for the scars of love's passion made
effect progression in every waking day
legacy from thy loins walk
still upon the soil sod
Even as every teardrop sob
leaves mourning ocean eye's salt
your name will continue on
long after either of us are gone
for what is written in flesh
will withstand the embers of death
Our name together the cross will bear
etched by the sands of time
Our love will split through deaths tear
but live forever in our rhyme
For when the wind turns cold and the snow piles high
Then you shall surely see
Even within the Reaper's grasp
In my heart you will truly always be
written in collaboration with my HUSBAND ~ SHACK I LOVE YOU !!!
