a slice of  sweet memory

a frosted lake

just beyond a breezy river

20 years before

or just a moment ago

whichever

my heart inflamed

by a fiery fate

you on that mountain side now

me all misty eyed and meloncholy

by this lake

the past has come calling

ringing the doorbell

of a door long ago nailed shut

certainly I am flattered by your

hopeful return

but time has paved over the old roads

that once led you to my heart

in my way

I will always thank you for what you gave

love in a stormy time

hope where hope had yet to reside

a gentle leaving of me that I never forgot

but was so tender I couldn't be angry

for us both, though hurtful as it was

all and all it just felt right

necessary almost.........
