I Remember You

As the crimson sun crawls to my farthest horizon
and soft dew spills from the shadows
under the curled rose petals of my years
     I remember you
the joyous times of exhalations
that shone bright like a sun's ray
which split the dark hanging cloud of my existence
to give me a glorious glowing time of dreams
which still washes across my memory
from the deep passion of your eternal soul
of red-painted skies wrapped in awe and wonder
which held our hearts captive
like trembling fawns hidden in the lush meadow of love
    we once knew
until the world turned dark and carried you away
without notice or concern
leaving me to quietly whisper goodbye
to the precious love who gave my tears their worth
