Rayne Thomas Poet Free verse

I Remember

The breezes and the trees
From summers long ago

Summer reading programs
Done in under four days
-- Give or take

Of sneaking out to read
By pale moon light

With dreams of Xiandré, twins and knights
Of crazy thoughts when I wake 

I remember
A life not my own
Nor my only



Humanity’s screams
For salvation

Cries of betrayal
Despair and failure
-- Innocents discarded
Of tears shed for 
The lost, the dead, the unwanted

Stories of warriors and mages
Injuries and battles,
Wars and bloodshed

I remember
Feelings not my own
Nor my only



Waking up, picking up
Returning to the day

Longing glances to the bag
Friends unmade, unknown

Dreams, memories
Unsung heroes

 
Lives they gave
Pain we shared
A trial of time

I remember…do you?
