A Reminder

If that 
Which I care for
Should become 
Commonplace.
Would I be able to
Recall It's value
at it's face?
Or remember
That without me
It stands 
In it's wonder
All alone.
That it was 
Never mine 
And never will be
To ever own.
If I should forget
What lies before,
And emptiness
Takes the space
Of what I had,
adored.
Will I ever be 
Able to know it
Like I once knew it
Once more?
So if that,
Which I care for 
Should become
Commonplace
Let me be,
Aware, 
and reminded,
Of the beauty
That is always,
There...
