I WILL NOT FORGET

Spring beckons me 
Seedlings break the winter
The rains are welcomed
The night was so long 
You held me close 
You carried me 
When I couldn’t even crawl 
On my death bed
You breathed your breath into me 
Your mouth to mouth life 
Kept me breathing 
I will never forget your kisses of kindness in the depths of darkness 
Now I know you 
Now you know me 
You’re my morning star 
My light in the deep dark 
That promises the dawn 
Now I see the first light of sunrise 
But I will never forget this dark night 
When the fires of grief threatened my bare body 
When the waters tried to drown me 
When it was just you and I 
Intimately entwined 
Secluded in intimate suffering love 
The oil of myrrh drenched my soul every hour 
And you never left me 
Now my heart sings a soft love song 
To awaken this dawn 
I feel the morning dew on my bare feet 
As we walk together into the garden 
Look! the seedlings are here
They have arrived
I know what’s coming and I’m grateful 
But I will never forget your mercy in the depth of darkness 
The way you held me 

In the dead of the winter night
