My past is a patchwork
of places and faces
I’ve seen and touched
and sorted away.

A well I dip into,
to bring up memories,
and compare my present
to yesterday's dreams.

I bring you up today,
gaze on your face,
replay adventures
we shared in our time.

Satisfied once more,
I gently lower you
back where you belong,
not far from the top.

Each drink from the well
slakes my thirst
by reminding me
I knew your love.

My Secret River

Reminiscing and lovely, Ken... so many turn the feelings they experience into something bad when relationships change. It is beautiful to know and acknowledge that certain people touch us in a way that stays forever- even if they don't.
Enjoyed this greatly.

AquarianM: I'm so thankful for this quiet place full of solitude - and one of the best archives of my poems left online. Thank you, Rachelle for bringing me here back when you did. Oct 12, 2016 2:43:20 GMT -5
