Vapor amor

Vapor amor

A Poem by Dave W.
"

Love is but for a moment...

"
It mattered not
for strength of hand

of will
or might

through fingers she slipped

living on in haunted reverie
was only yesterday

radiant in beauty
her smile as first lights dawn

to grasp a cloud
a vapor and gone.

Sounds heavy with loss, this one. The spare but evocative imagery highlights how uncertain life can be.

Still, obviously you are writing about Heidie.
Dave W. What a beautiful display of your love.
Always a shining memorial to your beautiful wife.
I'm honored to be the first to review your tribute to her.
Love always prevails. It is more powerful than death.
