"Will You Remember Me"
Will you remember me
like the circled stones
like the secret hills
where you walk alone
where the wind can speak
my other names
like the air you breathe
will you remember me?
Will you remember me
as your airplane flies
over foreign seas
and breaking skies
like a perfect child
you can't bear to leave
in your last long days
will you remember me?
Will you remember me
on the edge of life
where time runs slow
where some can fly
in these shuttered rooms
where we say goodbye
when the soul is free
will you remember
when there's no need to breathe
will you remember me?
