Your Name Poem by Valerie Dohren

Your name
flutters into my memory
like an ephemeral butterfly
but I will not let it go -
I will not let it escape
to a place where recollection
Is wanting.

Your name
will always be a part of me
threading through my very being
like streaks of gold in igneous rocks
awaiting excavation -
its beauty to be revealed
in the light of day.

Your name
woven into the fabric of my life
embroidered upon my heart,
never to be undone or allowed to fade
with the passage of time -
a tapestry forever etched into my soul,
my mind, my memory.
