I remember you with taste
Honey spices apple
Each bird call you once heard
Symbols on the door
My fingers brush the wool
Dyed your blue
The warmth of the hearth
We share through my remembrance
The children’s hair you’ve known this joy
Mixed with weariness
So I remember as I sing
And earth the holly
And bake the bread
Discover all the faces
Love is never lost
Never erased
It lives in the cells that remember
Touch breath embrace
The light whisper
the laughter
It lives on in the patterns of light that flash
Through our inner darkness
It formed the pathways
Birthed this future out of darkness
Love is never lost
It is captured in memory
And more that memory in form
It lives in our every transaction
In how we smile how we sing
It lives in the shape of our growth
Like the wind in the shape of a twisting branch
Like sunlight in the reaching trunk
Love is never in vain never
Futile never meaningless
It’s fact is solid
Solid as death
Love once given cannot be taken
From us it lives in our existence
Like dna coiling through the whole
Like starborn atoms indivisible from the past
And from our futures
Spreading weblike into everything we touch
Love is never lost
