cannot help but wonder
how far to the future
will these echos live within my head
until i'm dead?

and, what of thereafter
sans the lure of laughter
will your music of the soul endure
can we be sure?

questions of the cosmic
sung within a lyric
thoughts and sound
spring-like rebound
if tracked down
by your magic hound
will anything of substance found
give us a clue empiric?

five years have seen these queries dwell
herewith, your storied presence - still


llp - mar2012 - dA
original dec2007 - LOHD
written for Alexandra,
[and her dog Willy],
found today, and only
edited a bit before posting,
also adding two final lines
and retitling.

where i found this, and that i found this 'now'
speaks well of serendipity. 

edit - removed ellipses - nov07/2013.
edit - added hyphen before 'still' - reposted, just because - feb29/2016.
no actual edit - just reposting as a reminder to me of how I used to be inspired to write [and who used to inspire me] - dec28/2020.

pretty, it seems like a love poem wondering how long the effects of love last.
