To Not Forget
a poem
you were a dream I’ll not forget
a timeless space of heaven's presence
that lake-town made ours
so felt ahead, so clearly seen
at least in chance
beyond mind — through heart
within my blood
abundant, effortless love
whole beside you
to simply be
known by all — welcomed
longest sought community
missed so deeply here and now
to reach one day
even in dreams, by lies
some place to be together
that visit so far off
prayed real in this life
not just beyond
cherished future seen
even if to never be — a stillness lost
held immortal
remembered
