Don't You Remember?

Don’t you remember?
The sweet, emerald fields, stretching on forever
The eternally blue sky
Pure clouds drifting tangibly close.
Almost.

Don’t you remember?
The wind that weaves through your hair
And the jewel-colored pools
Of waters lovely.

Don’t you remember?
The evenings of gold
When the sky painted itself
Dramatic hues of violet
And the stars sparkled above the horizon
Don’t you remember?

Don’t you remember your wings
Of an ethereal white
That shimmered in the day
And glowed in moonlight
That carried you above the world
Into the distance
Don’t you remember?

Wisps of a time long forgotten dwell in my memory
Of a place inaccessible
Like a lost dream.
And sometimes, I hear a song

Or read a book, and in my heart
There is a pang of brokenness
For I feel a remnant of that beauty
And I know that I will never find it here.

Yet, for a moment
I remember.
And for a moment
I’m there again
Sailing above the dawn.

I remember how the world once was.
How it was meant to be
How it will be again.

In my soul lies a sleeping hope
That hope of a place I've come from
And a place, to which I will return.

Someday.

I'm feeling rather emo...

Dum de dum.

...

Hooray!
