Remembered Poem by Cameron Burleson

Off by yourself in
A wood all alone.
No one to mourn,
Cry over your bones.

Memories lost but for
A brief line of prose.
An ancient, grey hymnal,
Songs undisclosed.

You were remembered today by
A lone passerby.
Unknown to each other in
The light in your lives.

A tear in a moment,
Hands held beyond time.
No greater monument
Marks where you lie.

Peace in a quiet
Surrounded by thunder.
Lives racing by chasing
Fortunes of plunder.

The pace of the chase leaves
No time to ponder.
The worth of a soul laid
So loosely asunder.

You were remembered today if
You are never again.
The cool of this morning found
You with a friend.

Unexpected, this blessing, makes
It worth more for then
I've a better soul now than
Before it had been.
