And one day you remember

Can one person really make you forget

all past disappointments,
past hurts?

and then one day, while walking
in a copper landscape
you realize
you have forgotten everything

Because the day is sweet, perfect,
filled with love.

and you become thankful for delayed snow storms
and yet-to-be-filled promises
as the yellow aspen leaves crunch, crunch
under four boots and twelve paws.
