Just as I’m nearing my Autumn years
There comes a moment echoed in my musings
Whispers of affection from the tears
Who have gathered to remind me that I have
Many memories to sort through,
Remember… just remember…
There were many seasons in vibrant hues
Caressing my memory, so beautiful
Like a kiss on the naked thoughts
Light whispering out through the oaks
Lingering on hearts who know
To remember is to hope
Remember… just remember…
Sunlight rushes in from the azure skies
Painting the scene in feathery frost
Feelings so tender they melt
Inside the warmth of these glimpses
Pale sighs releasing breaths
Of hope into my life
Remember… just remember…
Lifetimes being lived on a thought
Exhale and all has been lost
My memories tell of the many seasons
Spring and Summer – Fall and Winter
Seasons of recollection, reminiscence
Tricking through my mind, falling
Soft, like the rain – flowing
Over my thoughts, dripping
Remember… oh, just remember…
How beautiful are my thoughts?
Rich in tones of crimson, sapphire
Plentiful as the harvest of dreams
Spent lifting my spirit with faith
Reaching through my memories
Stroking the images awake
Flames of fading grace
Penetrating the past
Remember… just remember…
A photograph stills my thoughts
Each image brings a memory alive
Lifting my heart to earlier times
Faded fantasies flood my feelings
Tears stream down wrinkled cheeks
And I reach for the photograph
Sweetest dreams… the past
Lifting love from its place
Healing the pain, the ache
Grief that has been felt
Sorrow that leaves a mark
Memories fill my mind
Remember… just remember….
The mind is an abundant garden
Plants in all shades of gray
Browns and blues, darkness
And light, shadows fading
Filling my heart with thanks
For the chance to create
So many wonderful memories
Remember… just remember…
Love lives on these pages
Creased from endlessly turning
Each one over to be relived
Reimagined, re-experienced
Remember… just remember…
This is a prayer from
My Autumn years
So many blessings
So many tears
