A Love Remembered

Kate Little's "Most used words" woven into a poem.  

The words:

love remember life heart soul day cinquain kiss beautiful night

sweet man angel dream silver tears spirit words pain does gentle

hard true hope

 

The poem:

 

My vanished love,

do you not remember

the life we planned?

A vision our hearts and souls

wove together, day by day,

letters sealed with our own

cincquain kiss.

 

My now distant love,

how beautiful was the night

from the circle of your arms--

sweet 'tis still,

in my "man from an angel"

dream.

 

The lonely moon

makes a silver necklace

of my tears,

while the night winds,

once bearers of

your love's whispers,

breathe spirit words

into my shattered heart.

 

This careless pain you gave,

does gentle, yes,

does gentle

in time, into

a hard, true, hope.
