aspire

in mysterious years

maybe someone will think of me

a trace of myself

a quiet influence

 

some far flung night, mid winter

i hope someone will think of me

when inky branches

brush glittering sky

 

awaiting spring's caress

perhaps i will be

someone's sweetened memory

bringing contemplation with the breeze

 

a night like tonight

i think of you as you are

made of the dreams

you swirled into reverence

 

if i could be so lucky

to be remembered

like i remember you.

thinking of who i remember and how i will be remembered gives me something to strive for, i think this is the true test of how much you accomplished in life.

Take that sign down.

You inspire me.

Does that count ?

Really like this.

( like love )

It was a different time when your other friend

Was writing and I missed it.

I will have to check some of it out.

I have a feeling his poems are smooth.

My sadness is with you .

The final call is so final.

KS

You made me write just from reading this.

It started as a comment and turned into a poem

As usual.

You do have that effect on me

( just so you know ) :D

It's funny that we think

That way.

When maybe we should be

More accepting while we are here.

KS

Furthermore

I surmise 

It is not you (  the all inclusive yous )                

Discovering someone

After they are gone

so much.

 

As it was the interactions you had

While they were here

That makes you remember

And care. :)

of course :)

but it's easy to remember someone who's still around.  when we die, memory is all that's left behind and it fades over time.

i hope someone will think of me

… I can't help but love this. It speaks to a tender weakness of ours. And offers comfort – whether real or imagined. In the end, we are all the same; if just one person remembers our kindness when we are gone, than we have truly lived. Because that footprint left behind is the beauty of our design.
