Remembering

Sacred places of loved ones
marked by stone
monument
solid, forever
impervious to time
as it should be.
Memories that we will not suffer lost.
Ever.

Marked by flowers
pretty, fragile
fleeting traces of beauty and life
passing through creation moments of joy.
Smiles.
Memories
like humans
drift fragrantly on the wind
only for awhile.

O the Power!
Memories
Strong, lasting, immutable
Fragile
Beauty
living things.

A day
merely a day
but a marker in time
a calling
permanent history
mindful of mortality
we salute you
we give thanks for you
and we remember.
