Reflections

The sweet memory of you
oh! how we ran
oh! how we flew.
An overflow, a feverpitch
as energies collided
The infusion, the reunion
the reunited two.

The beauty of your face
the music of your soul
cascading, flooding every cell
rousing poignant recollections
a drifting meditation
exquisite reverie.

Nothing could contain
the swelling in my breast
which took such pain
such dedication as it lay to rest.

but there’s a sweetness
in my melancholy
a sweetness in the sorrow
of all the youthful plans
and promises
for tomorrow.

Why were we not content
with what lay in our hands?
too much to achieve
too much we couldn’t see
comprehend!

Relection is perfections
now the heart has healed
unfettered reminicence
the overwhelming gift
from which we
now yield.

The sweet memory of you
oh! how we ran
oh! how we flew.
