Poem

I remember her quite clearly
As if only yesterday,
In my mind I loved her dearly
But she was miles and miles away.

Up there above the tree line
Where only pure beauty can go, 
And no one like me could ever be 
Beside her in the snow.  

Where she walked with grace upon her face 
As if smitten by God himself,
A living, breathing, beatific being
Needing no one like me for help. 

Or meant for one so near to none 
As invisibility could attain,
While she walked on air with angelic flair 
And never knew my name. 

Until one day it happened
After years past, by and by,
Our apogees turned to perigee
And she returned before my eyes. 

Once again, out in the wind
Near those snowy mountain peaks,
And I finally found the courage to ask,
“Do you even remember me?” 

And her smile turned into something 
I’d never seen before,
As if stretching out in all directions
From shore to shore and more.  

Her reply was, “I remember well
Those days you gazed at me,
And waited long and longer still
For you to set me free.”

“But I never dreamed,” came my response
“And never ever knew,
That a man like me could ever be 
In love with a girl like you.”

And then we stood for a moment in silence 
An eternity in space,
Each gazing in the other’s eyes,
Mesmerized in place.    

Until we parted once again
But differently this time,
She headed toward the valley wide
And I began the snowy climb.
