Notes About The Poem

The Last Time I saw Him

I met with Him

Before we were nothing forever.

I did not speak of feelings;

The strength of my words

Could not be measured.

It was enough that I was with him.

As the sun is with the air,

As day mingles with night

in the twilight and in the dawn;

Two Oceans overlapping,

Caressing every shore.

In every moment we shared

I absorbed him.

He will remain in me

Long after I am gone.

I will carry him with me

Until I reach my end.

And He will know,

Forever:

That He was Loved.
