I Shall Remember You

I Shall Remember You
When I am old and memory's threads
begin to ravel and come undone;
when friends become fewer,
drifting away like the dying sun,
then I shall remember you.
I shall remember the love you gave
that put a smile upon my heart
and many a tear on this old face
when it was time for us to part.
I shall remember you.
I shall remember winter afternoons
and sunny summer days
when nothing seemed to please us more
than our simple time at play.
Yes, I shall remember you.
I shall remember the first ball of fur
that came and whisker-tickled me
and settled down with a strident purr
in the circle of my arms.
After all these years, I still remember you.
I shall remember the last independent stare
who owned this master, heart and soul
and laid claim to my favorite chair
where we rocked together, growing old.
Now I sit alone, but I remember...
I remember those of the years between
each one so different yet each the same,
and each brings me comfort
when I whisper their names.
Yes, I remember each of you ....
Some think a cat isn't much of a pet
but these dear friends I shall not forget;
and as my autumn days
turn gray with winter's haze
I shall remember you.

Beyond Your Leaving
Beyond Your Leaving
"I only know we loved in vain;
I only feel Farewell! Farewell!"
*Byron*
A time for reflection
as I lie here in the space you left behind,
feeling more a woman
than I ever have before.
Traces of your warmth spread over me
and whispered words echo...
all the words you never said...
those I couldn't say...
lost among the patterns
painted by some unknown hand.
A time for reflection...
lying in the glow you left behind.
Holding tight to all I know of you...
A time for reflection
in this blue time beyond your leaving...
a time to dream of hours lost forever...
a time to gather thoughts...
In the letdown time beyond your leaving
I say the words I whisper silently
while you are here...
I love you
