Thoughts wander, in and out of focus

weighted by air chilled and wet

echos of memories, places we’ve been

people we were, a fresh, hopeful start

❦

Vows of love and forever give way to truth

forever is not a promise we can keep

love is all that lasts

❦

Yours was the grace

that gave my life color and light

a sun, breeze-filled day

that seems to say,

“it will also rain, and I am there too.”
