Vapor amor

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.

Life is sometimes only a flash or a moment in time, yet it can be a glorious moment as well...your words portray this in a beautiful way..." a vapor and gone".....lovely

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.
