Poem 91: Remember Me

remember me,
(if you will)
when a full bright moon
escapes from
a bank of dark cloud
and the darkness
before you
is revealed as safe.

remember me
when the early morning sun
touches your body
and you become
new with the day
and later at noon
when his strength
whispers to you
I am God,
I am the God they sought.

remember me
when you watch
a high flying gull
slow motioned
above the sea
and we both cry to you
far away, far away.

remember me
when you take
a lover or a child
in your arms
do not compare us
but remember
and give to us both.
