you stood so tall majestically a monument to patient growth i adored your presence in my life i could sense your heart felt it gently touch mine and you knew my secret self i hugged you in the soft starry nights you sheltered me from sun and rain and snow and the prying eyes of strangers you made of my world a magical retreat your aroma blessed my every inhalation and i felt safe and warm there in your shadow then one early morning workmen came with their hearts in their wallets they took you away in pieces stolen from the sun in the sky and the tears in my eyes we screamed together then but no one was listening and now our tiny eden is a naked and barren wasteland and neither the earth nor my arms can stop reaching for you... yet all we clasp now is a memory of moments shared in joyous silence                HTML, graphics*, buttons, dividers, tiles and foils Copyright ©2004-2006 SnaykeSkyns Digi-graphix® Poem "memory" Copyright ©2004 Snayke All rights reserved. *Photo used for main image courtesy of free photos.
