remembrance

journey through darkness
unchained, yet unsettled
it pierces through the midnight's grief
buried but not broken
forgotten, rarely spoken
And still you- friend
take residence in the forbidden chasm
between then and now
I remember the days
when beautiful desperation
clothed you in grace
and I took memories
like fine jewels
which birthed flashes of brilliant wisdom
among foolish masses
and I, on sabbaths, hold them
and I still to this day, remember.
unfinished conversations, aspirations...
you are at rest
i am walking.
