Trails in the snow Sept 7, 2012

  

I wonder if she will still remember me

 when all this is gone

when the rattle of fallen leaves

gives way to the silence of fallen snow

will she look back on the trail her footstep left

 to see that point where mine and hers diverged

and will she Wonder as I often do

 might life have been good had we

 kept to the same trail together

 I know better having seen it

all those places where we forced to pause

where Joy gave way to pain

 where truth faded into some semblance

 of something we could not reconcile

and still I wonder when all is said and done

 will she find even find a small bit of silver

 in the snow that might have her smile

 some moment among all those moments

she might cherish the way I still do

will she ever remember me

as a time taking its giant strides

 and leaves us both behind

lost and where snowfall buries both of our trails
