remember me

Diamonds on Blue Velvet remember me You wonderful ones who have wondered with me In your youth about truth and what that might be Who have understood me better than I could Having grown up with me and my poetry Remember me now as you venture and go To all of the places I never have been As I adventure in the spaces in the in between And if peradventure you know what I mean Think of me now and again when you see A ring around the moon in the blue velvet sky Wearing stars like diamonds to remember us by To wonder about wonders beyond what we know And when you see this to receive a kiss Around the corner of the universe from me You know about stars from my poems before Who know what I mean and who know that I know That you know that I mean that none of us go That is when we go then we go like a ring Around the moon or like the wheel of everything Turning but returning no matter how far Around the corner of the universe to be Spangling we spill across blue velvet and call To one another each to each the star We are and know we are because of these on this Our history across the sky no mystery to see Like diamonds on blue velvet we flash until we fall To rise again within the memory Of you wonderful ones who have wondered with me A star though having fallen now rising after all Remembered is thought of all over again A flash and we are in the sky once more Remaining to depart and arriving to remain Like all of us always again and again Like stars though having fallen now rising after all Like diamonds on blue velvet we flash until we fall +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
