Remember Me

If there ever come a time
when all yesterdays became so distant and faraway
and that the echoes of earlier days
were but shadows of a passing dream
And dreams were only fleeting illusions
illuminated by hope that was never a light

And even if in the deepest depths of despair
when all words, all fundamental words failed you
and neither coherent thoughts nor strength was left in you

Remember me
and I will come swiftly across the night
even though I am so many stars away
and without any wings to fly
I swear to you
I will be there
even though my voice would have not reach you
and neither counsel nor consolation  would have touch you

But my friend
I would willingly walk the ice, with feet unshod
or course through the darkest raging storms
or stride over a thousand deserts without a dew
and even to the ends of the world
I would give my heart to reach out for you

I hereby give you
my humble soul
Because I have vowed to you
and will never forfeit
For no other price
I would have come
If you would only
remember me.
