"Will you remember me?"

I will awake if I’m remembered From the nightmares Where the looming, leering silence Lures me under We wander now in reverie In my memory we have our Days and nights of dance and song When you were my best friend Forgotten days are lost to time Remember me when you are lost And I will be there with you Promise me this much Somewhere we play in the field Where neglected spirits heal I am there until the end As I promised you I will awake if you remember All the stars we named together Mere relics of what once they were And the rainbows draped about the clouds Will be my own And you will know they are for you Allow me in your memories And the field will never overgrow And I will dance with you Let me not become your silence And in eternity we’ll meet To whisper of infinity And dance on deathless fairy feet
