Do You Remember?

Do You Remember?

It is midnight,  and I cannot sleep.  I put on my sweater  and begin to walk  through the woods.       The moon is behind  a cloud, I wish it to come  out and shine on me.   I want to make a wish.    I begin to shiver as the  wind whispers to me... Do you remember?    Did it really say that, or    is my mind wandering?    I continue slowly through  the woods, leaves rustling  beneath my bare feet.  Suddenly I see an old  wooden bench, intricately  carved, by some master's hand.       I am saddened to see this  bench left behind by it's maker.  As my fingers gently touch  each carving, the lost music  fills the trees, as their leaves  begin to dance.        The wind cooly brushes   against my arm and again    whispers........       Do you remember?    Of course I remember, I say    to myself..  I remember the   first time I ever saw the one   who changed my life.   I remember his touch as we  held hands.  I remember the  way his eyes so softly lit up,   whenever he saw me.  I remember the sweetness of his kiss.       Only, it was so long ago.    The moon is shining brightly    on my tears.  again, the wind whispers.......    Do you remember?    I answer with all my heart and soul,    Yes...... I remember..         I always will    jane © 3/16/09

What a beautiful poem! And such great picture to complement the expressed setting! From the beginning to the very end my full attention was thoroughly won.
"As my fingers gently touch
each carving, the lost music
fills the trees, as their leaves
begin to dance."
I enjoy reading the whole poem, and especially this part when the mind is furnished with nostalgic (if I may) memories, and you're reunited with blissful, romantic events... The poem has somewhat of a mysterious stream, with the recurring question arousing our sense of curiosity to the end, where we finally feel satisfied.

Beautifully done!

Thanks for sharing.
