Fidelity

Your memory lives on in songs -

songs which bubble up from the depths of the heart;

they tell me that you live in all of them

and certainly, songs keep their word.

Your memory blossoms on in tears -

tears from the sanctuary of the heart

nourished with the dew of memory's blossom;

in that dew your memory blossoms on.

Your memory lives on in dreams -

dreams which show me your transfigured image

and say that you are eternally mine;

and certainly, dreams keep their word.
