Please Remember Me…


If I could,
Wondering if I should,
I think I would like to
Take you someplace…

It’s quite high,
Not nearby,
It takes longer than a day,
To travel to the mountains,
Where I stay…

Once there,
You can touch the sky,
With your fingertips,
And the gentle breeze,
Will leave the taste of
Honey-suckle on your lips-

The animals here do not fear man,
And they will come and sip,
The water from your hand-
The eagle still flies in the summer sky,
And the beauty you see,
Will bring tears to your eyes…

Instead of looking up,
To see the clouds,
You must look down-
And,
You can watch the sky weep here,
Her gentle tears falling like raindrops
When they finally reach the ground…

There is beauty and truth here,
Among the ancient trees,
Someplace quite sacred,
That I would like you to see…

Just please my friend,
When you drink in her beauty,
Please remember me…
There are ponds and streams,
That drowns out the screams,
Of those who live below-
And you would never know,
That I am here,
Watching you,
Wondering if you could ever love it,
As much as I do…

You could lose yourself here,
There is nothing to fear,
The paths are clear and true ,
Somehow this place,
Has always reminded me of you…

You could swim in the ponds,
Splash in the streams,
Shower in the falls,
And forget that life calls,
Living in this dream…

I know you would like it;
You could climb
On the stone cliffs and sit,
Stare off into the abyss,
And never miss,
The life you leave behind…

Just one thing,
I like you to not forget,
Even though I am not there-
For I shall be long gone-
I was never very fond,
Of living quite so long…

So when you return to see,
The beauty I tried to share,
Hold it in your heart,
Like we never came apart-
And please my friend,
Please remember me…
