Past Love Remembered

Looking backwards I see through the shadow of my memory
Veiled faces of a person I used to know.
Listening I hear through the fog of the past
Voices of a person I used to know.
Perhaps love once hidden in my heart will bring back light to drive away
shadows and clear out the fog
So I will clearly know the past love remembered.

I am reading the novel The Shadow of the Wind. In this novel, the main character talks about the day he could no longer remember the face and voice of his mother. This poem came to mind as I try to remember those who now wait on the other side of eternity.
