Slipping Back (Untitled)

Slipping back
. To a hidden place
Sitting in that tree
. Carved initials
Silently, I trace
. That faded heart
Strawberry winds
. Breath on me
Sliding across my mind
. Ancient memories
Singing me to sleep
. Your voice
Saving me from nothing
. Your arms around me
Surrender to your sweet whispers
. In my ear
Savor light kisses
. Of sweet eternity
Smile and wonder
. At how you're gone
Sorrow leaps
. As tears fall
Strong emotion
. Withstanding time
Sweet, sweet surrender
. To the past I
. Trace with careful fingertips
