    dim

    the essence of you remains
    in my thoughts
    but you are fading from vibrant color
    to etched gray lines
    who I am now is measured
    by your time away from me
    and the efforts of others
    are now fruitless and unrequitted
    perhaps it is a slight
    to the giver of life
    but I cannot stay here
    without at least the whisper of you
    and if I do not find you
    beyond my last breath
    then I shall die with you
    in my final thought

    Sounds as though you write of the love of your life, they will never leave your thoughts!

    this is the perfect expression of loss...I am sorry you've had to endure it. only one who has could write about it so honestly.

    Thank you so much T!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
