Remember not
to forget
to remember
close your eyes
breathe in
breathe out
close your eyes
the silence brings
remembrance
not to forget
to remember

Sitting in the gardens,
admiring flower beds,
will you still remember me,
when I am long dead?
Reflections on my past life,
no longer hurt my heart,
for they are now just stories,
from which I am apart.
Mental chatter ceases,
calm imbues my soul,
wisdom and compassion,
start to make me whole.
Although I’m reminiscing,
of all that never was,
I still miss you dearly,
no reason just – because…

Alas the poet’s sorrow,
I know it well!
Infesting, invading,
the melancholic mind,
destructively, saving,
our urge to write
stirring the soul,
to release and let go,
giving up, and,
giving in,
to inspirations, intuit.
Your only weapon,
pen, ink and wit,
to fight the foes,
with verse and prose,
with the words of a poet,
and the wisdom of the sage,
together we’ll haunt the universe,
with tears and hearts upon our page.
