Written June 21 2026 for contest Remember Me sponsor Silent One
When the last lavender days of my youth fade Into the onyx ocean of times teal waves Look upon me with your mind’s eyes And see my mature mahogany heart Untouched by turquoise thoughts and time May the silky silver halo of hair Upon head now like a dare Be as magical as tinsel on a Christmas tree Anoint me as seasoned and saintly Bending in white wind so as not to break Remember me as a humble spirit a servant With winged words of wisdom to Encourage and uplift despite dilemmas One poet painted purple by love Then like a karma chameleon changing Colors to meet your moods where they are To brighten where you find too much darkness To darken where you’re overwhelmed by light To soothe your spirit as a soulful song Melodic and sweet as an angelic symphony Written by the Creator especially for you Remember me as a rainbow in your sky Reflecting all of your colorful dreams Relishing your red reveries that inspire That move magenta mountains Despite their majesty with one pearly prayer Remember our jade journey and passion The gifts we accumulated from life Perhaps enhanced by my passing Like salty seeds from a sunflower Golden petals that look up to heaven When you are mourning your loss Let remembrance be a green gain As a blue blessing that lifts you Like wings of a black bird Remember me, deeply breathe and smile
