I remember
Standing
On the cliff
Watching the sea
Far below
And thinking
How good it felt
To be alive
I remember
The face of the King
Smiling sadly
Forgivingly
I remember
The smell
Of the woods in spring
The flowers
Beneath my feet
The song of the birds
Clear and sweet
I remember
The smiles of my friends
Their eyes
Shining with laughter
I remember
The dark night
Fear
Clinging at me
Clutching
Wringing
Shaking me
From head to toe
Drawing my life
Far away from me
I remember
The light
The sparkling brilliance
In an unexpected place
Beckoning
Welcoming
Drawing me in
I remember
And I love
