In My Back Pocket

In my back pocket, I hold tight some things,
 things that are special to my heart.
I have a little moon light, a flower from a field,
 and these things are only the start.
In my back pocket, I leave a little space,
 for the one thing I hold so very dear.
A memory of someone, who brought light from dark.
Someone I will keep very near.
In my back pocket is where I will reach,
 when life gets me tied up and low.
I'll reach for you there, with memory in hand,
 to places no others can go.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
