Gone

Gone After your last breath I was defeated, Body, soul and spirit taken down. Caressing memories became my new world, Drowning in the past was solid ground. Everything you did from start to finish, Following me in my dreams so clear. Great to know the time we had together Harboured solace in my heart, sweet dear. Innocence; the name of our beginning, Joined as one we never were apart. Kempt; seemed to be our life together, Laughter always flowing from the heart. Moments I shall keep in memories arc. Nails like daggers pierced the world we started, Offering us comfort, could no man. Pain struck from the thought of being parted, Quietly my darling took a stand. Right down to the last he did not waver, Standing tall and giving his vast love. Tremendous was his courage as he traveled Under wings of Angels brought above. Veiled in sadness moving gently forward Waiting for the sun to drown the rain. Xanthic was the color of his golden hair Yearning now to see it once again. Zaps me at the thought of it my friend.

Yes Faye I was a widow at 50. It sounds deeper and more poetic then it was in real life. I wrote my poem The Chase to honor my husbands courage as he battled cancer seven years.
