On the Wane

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

When the memories come,

I stop what I’m doing

squinting my mind to see them clearly

But even now, they are brief,

waning like a once full moon,

white against a pale morning sky.

What I have loved I cannot hold.

Like the tail of a waking dream,

I try to grasp the last details

lest I doubt whether I dreamed at all.

    Exquisite, like so much of what you write, only even more so.

      Thanks Alison. I’ve been doing this writing group, and this came out of one of the prompts we were given today. Thank you so much. It helps to be challenged.

    Your few, well-chosen words speak volumes. Wonderful, dearheart.

    Your words are so good and am hoping they are helping you get thru this period of grieving. Grief is something that you have to deal with and you are making great strides with it.
    Hugs,
