I Feel Your Loss .......

A surge of emotion overwhelms me. I scan your eyes for a clue but see only misty sadness in deepest blue. I had watched as you held his hand, counting breaths, holding yours as you thought he had drawn his last. Whispering private words about the past - pausing, weeping, remembering, watching as life ebbed away, recalling all your yesterdays. When words dry up there is only silence and now silence is all you have; silent tears, silent words, silent memories. Still in the stillness, alone in the solitude as half of a depleted pair. Sadness hangs in the tear-drenched air. Frozen in eternity I see you there still holding his lifeless hand and I scan your eyes for a clue, a hint of what to say to you? You look up and a surge of emotion overwhelms me. Tangible sadness in eyes of misty blue, and I cry too.
