Remembrance

I hold your image,
your vibrant embodiment
in the cracks of my mind
with unyielding resolve to remember.

Your essence remains as striking as
peaks and valleys of mountains.
I know the contours of your flesh,
the color of your eyes…
They’ll never glimmer again
yet I search for a flicker.

Emotions carry me back
to where you will never fade. 
Feelings released in tears
waiting as death arrives.
