Witness


long forgotten
you rest among 
the pines and birches
where echos of our laughter
once filled your belly

now

it is only the wind
that plays through
your shattered shell
while crackling leaves
rustle along 

the loon's melody
playfully floats
over the rocky shore

and i remember 
oh yes, i remember
your grace and beauty

before the seedlings
deposited their blossoms
in your eves
and the earth buckled
beneath your weight

you were
and still are
my sole witness
of 
our
love
