Years have gone by

Many memories drifted away

Along the incessant time river

But your image endures and

Secures an abode in my heart

When the night is deep

My soul need not be subdued

I see you in my dream

Your face seems to be ageless

Passion still unabated

You speak to me in soundless voice

Yet I hear your warm-sonorous tone

Full with words of wisdom

Unexpectedly, you brush my cheek

Softly as a breeze

Enthralled, I see innumerable stars

Sparkling brightly in the dark sky

Serenading in chorus

I bid the night to linger longer

And frame the scene

To store it in my memory
