Notes About The Poem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0YXt2nVMw4
Dimmer
Bitterness grays, as the years dwindle down
Time chips away and memories fade
Time,...slips away, nibbling at grief
and years, without mercy, is also a thief
My vision of you is harder to see,
And try as I might,...it burns all the leaves
Your beautiful face, the fire of you,
Only flashes of amber.......there is only a hue
I can't view the picture as clearly I did
I can't turn it on like a light in my head
It burns, lowly, dimly...just a flicker, instead
I once knew your voice and the warmth of your smile
Now there's barely a whisper in the dark of the night
I try to reach out, and grab it somehow
But it cools into embers, and memory fails
Like a photograph lost, where it doesn't belong
Fading each day, in the sun for too long
Fading and losing the bright flame I knew
I ponder the embers that have died in the flame
And I wonder, and worry, it comes like a pain
......,will I know you, will you recognize me
if somewhere beyond, we meet once again?
