I Know ! ©

With unseeing eyes...unknowing mind...
I sit here searching..but cannot find,
I know it is there..but where can it be?
Is it lost in the past..
when my mind was free
you touch my hand...stroke my hair...
I know not how..
but I feel you there,
if I could speak,
I would ask you why...
you smile...seem happy...
though I see you cry,
are you a Son?..a Daughter?
a Husband?.. or Wife?..
come to call from forgotten life?
...like a thief of dreams,
time has stolen the years...
....memories lost..
of laughs...and tears,
still, in my mind,
though I know not where,
is a memory of you,
I know you are there!
