What Was

Encumbered soft with sorrow’s ghost
      Alone among the torpid souls 
   A shadow grows at evening’s host
  Your name dims gently with the sun 
   With every dusk, my heart undone
    Old conversations – sacred scrolls
    The night unfolds, our love rerun
      Sweet sanity returns - almost
