My Intentions

You know,
there are a lot of things
I "Intend " to do
Just as soon as I get through
Remembering

Do you remember..
walks in the rain
talks without shame
how we felt the same

Remember
Running in the sunshine
sitting after
in the tall cool pines
Remember..
popcorn..over an open campfire
fresh trout
simmering over hickory

Touching each other
heart and hands
to see how the other felt
Passing each hour, as if it were the last
Knowing .. soon all this would pass

I carry around ..
small words you said
the way you held your head
The way you smiled

I remember
this mountain we climbed
so very high up
the cup of coffee, beside the road
in our gypsy cups
Our songs
never ever in tune

You Know,
there are Lots of things
I "Intend" to do
as soon as I get through
Remembering
