Remember Me
Paint me not on sullen skies
That drape the fall of night...
Speak not of me in darkened light
Casting me into shadow's depth
Paint me not in pity's flame

Paint me not in leaden strokes
Tainted with mock disdain
Write not of me in sorrow's pain
Dipped in ink of shimmering tears
Paint me not in somber mood
Or sullen hues of bitter wind
For that is not where I have been...
Just remember me as I am
Instead paint me upon azure skies,
Leaving my imprint within the depth
Of dawn's menagerie and sunset's flame.

But play for me a song of joyful strokes
To brush away free falling tears.
Write of me in words of playful mood...
Please... just remember me as I am
