Notes About The Poem

I remember loving you

I remember you and the promises
the feel of the embrace of love
the tenderness of feeling whole

I remember loving you
and everything it so entailed
the magic of our togetherness
and the mightiness of our bond

Basically I remember you loving me
and me loving you ~
we’re caught in a cosmic dance

I’ve let the grieving take its course
it fills me now with less of a longing
and the healing is more of a blessing
that overcomes me with gentle warmth

Strange how the pain has slowly vanished
to make way for waves of love
that feel dauntless and eternal
