“If You Forget Me
if you forsake me
I shall forget you too
don’t take me for
the lone redbud that lay bare
behind your window
in the garden
with branches naked,
robbed of life
in the dead of winter
waiting once again
to embrace
spring
which has forsaken it
before.”
― Neena H. Brar

“Too often we are unwilling to ‘look the fool’ in the pursuit of our passion. Therefore, we forsake our passion. And which, we might ask, is more foolish?”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Oblong stones sink
slow and sideways. Shaped
by the weight of waves,
dutifully vibrating nature’s
lunar-bound graces,
they wash ashore only for
closed palms to forsake them.
The cheerful will
cherish them, place them
on windowsills, or on graves.”
― Kristen Henderson, Of My Maiden Smoking
