Remember Them
Days slipping
Diamonds, slipping from a thread of gold
Falling to the dusty floor.
Catch them
Catch them in a blue velvet bag.
Weeks dropping
Tears, dropping from human eyes
Landing in the sapphire sea.
Catch them
Catch them in a crystal pitcher.
Years drifting
Feathers, drifting from wings that once soared
Floating into the dark abyss.
Catch them
Catch them in a silver bowl.
Lives flying
Clouds, flying through depths of height
Scattering to caress the earth.
Catch them
Catch them with cupped hands.
Time ebbing
Souls, ebbing into sleep
Washing into the eternal ocean.
Catch them,
Catch them in a shining net.
Guard them,
Guard them with selfless love.
See them,
See every flaw and every perfection.
Remember them,
Remember them
When they no longer remember themselves.
