Your Last Breath

Fields tinted with golden rays Always remind me of those days I wish I could bring them all back Replenish the very things I lack Hear your laughter, see your smile Hand in hand, all across the mile Where we played and ran free Everything was ok, just you and me When darkness took you, I was alone Drenched by secrets, nothing shown I don’t think I was ever the same Years of silence, then words in a frame Holding my heartache, too often to read Always feeling like living, was just a seed Ready to grow, but stunted by death With memory of your very last breath Heidi Sands 5/18/19

This is a very moving piece. "Years of silence, then words in a frame"; a very powerful sentence. Beautifully penned.
