For Those I Lost

There is no way to recollect.

There is no remembrance,

whether sad or happy.

I wish I could peer

into those I lost once more.

I wish I might remember him just once.

He came into my life but once,

like the sun peers into the day for a short while.

He is gone,

forbidden to awake from his sleep until the appointed time.

Into sleep he has gone,

I will continue to chase those I lost,

helplessly and hopelessly.

Just as the sea never becomes still,

I will never stop trying to find them.
