Powerful Thoughts
by Larry Estep 2/23/08

These thoughts they carry me.

Your face in memories.
Like a flash of light.
Your voice in memories.
Like a call of night.

Those moments of joy treasured.
Those nightmares of fights together.

Long gone chances to recover.
Our hearts given to others.

Years past never forgotten.
Many words never spoken.

Friends lost, choices wrong.
Second chances long gone.

Confusion and despair.
Damaged beyond repair.

Conclusions mixed.
Outcomes fixed.
Never silent, those memories.
Never silent, those lessons.

These thoughts they bury me.
