#82. Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

It is morning and the sky holds possibilities
I am walking this path that you have walked with me
do you remember the landmarks that I pass
as I walk this road with you only my companion in my mind?

It is morning, early light fliters through these trees
and this path takes on different qualities than it did
when you walked it with me, late in the darkness of night
the birds sing a song that reminds me that you are not here.

Do you remember the way the ground felt beneath our feet
as we walked this path arm in arm? Do you remember the way
I whispered softly in your ear, asking if you could hear
the silent touch of the night on our memories?

In the light of morning everything changes
and this path is different. A silent road to memories.
And now, the world has become a reminder, bringing back
memory after memory, reminding me that I am alone.

Do you hear me as I speak to you, walking this road we once paced?
Can you hear the thoughts I whisper to you, through time and distance?
Do you feel our tread once more, the solid cement a quiet reminder
that we once held each other and walked this path together?

I can not forget, I can not erase the memories from my mind
and this quiet morning walk reminds me of you.
On a morning such as this will you not cross the distance
and join me as I walk arm and arm with the shadows of the night?
