Remembrance

Is it merely greed?
Why do we long
To hold on to someone
After they are gone?

Once thier purpose is served
The lord speaks his word
And opens a fabric
Of both parting and passage

It is that of a phantom
To show such dispassion
The human heart yearns
For their dawn, or return

Love leaves the heart
Like a soul travels time
Between stunning archs
Both in and through lives

Yes, keep in mind
We all will return
From that which we came
Thus take heed and learn

Take steps and breath
As you would with a rose
Inhale the fragrance
With will to expose..

The etchings of living
Aspects of the taken
Significant memories
A poem of remembrance
