Jayne Eggins Poet Blank verse

Moments To Remember

I refuse to spend
our last minute in grief
so,
(to remove this other visage 
threatening a takeover)
I transpose over it


your face
with that gentle smile
holding in contemplation,
a curious child, me
 
your face 
once ridged in sadness
with an agony 
we carried together,
and now


as my face burns 
with a heart arched 
in sorrow, 
in the knowing yours 
now rests on heaven,


I, am ever thankful 
but still need 
a moment to remember
