Your Words

Your words
Embrace me
Like the lingering mists
Which hang along the creek bottoms
Where thoughts 
Run strong and true

I wait for them
Like I wait for the golden hour
When the sun 
Illuminates everything
And makes even the most mundane
Beautiful

I long for them
Like a forgotten memory
That feels like it was yesterday
And though forgotten
Lives within me
Waiting to be revealed

I treasure them
Like a prized possession
A once in a lifetime Gift
Which cannot be replaced
Whose impact
Cannot be erased
