“Gone but Not Forgotten”

Are they really gone?
Far beyond
the reaches of time
beyond the veil
where glimpses caught
by human eyes
pierce not

Gone are the smiles
the twinkle in the eyes,
perhaps, in a visual sense
buy nay in the hearts nor in
the mind, for here they play
in timeless memory
Forever etched in the hearts
they touched

And the hearts that love them
will forever remember
