I Remember

I REMEMBER


Shadows have fallen
since I saw you last.
You were a  cool drink
of quiet in this world of noise.
Inhabiting the still  parts 
of my soul.
Embers of your fire 
still warms me.

Your life found eternity.
A life cut achingly short.
A stage without a closing act.

In the end, we are sand
in an ocean of men.
Waves on the water
that break 
along the shore.

But for a select few,
lives were touched,
souls heard, spirits freed.
I remember you.
