AN ETERNAL INSTANT A Poem by Maya Teague And you shall remember - many years from now, When the gardens of your soul seem parched Though resplendent still And cloud formations no longer speak to you When the cauldrons of your dreams deliver no flame And your autobiography is all you can invoke Your dusty reveries will yield nothing more Than glimmers of feats and crucibles Look deeply, not so much into your happy remembrances But into your most gaping wounds, your most broken self… There you will find me. I wish not to be remembered for the joys I gave you Nor the sunny laughter I oft sent your way Remember me for the scars I helped cleanse The lacerations of your soul I made whole again. For is not the purpose of every heart to be reborn, engorged To hold a greater afterlife love that is there for the taking? And you shall remember once more – On one propitious night moons ago, The fourteenth day of the month of lovers Amidst a blistering rainstorm You knocked at the portal of my soul. Like a soldier delivered from harsh battles You appeared to me, touchingly hungry, as was I For a bond without borders. With the tenderness of a skilled lover and the craving Of a vulturine newborn upon it’s mother’s breast You wakened my purest longings, your scent Still wrapped in my hidden loins Without a question, I left you a piece of my heart. And there…for one eternal moment I embraced you and I danced. ~ Maya Teague
