The Reminder

From the shadows of my memory's inner paths,
You emerge suddenly before me
With a new cover overlaying your identity
But with the same shining eyes
That are able to awaken my soul.

From the silence that echoes my quiet call,
You raise the massive, dusty curtain
That has recently imprisoned my sensibilities
To again show me that I need no one
To give me inner strength and beauty.
