FINAL THOUGHTS OF LOVE (Poem)

My dear wife of more than 23 yrs died on December 09, 2013 due to complications of a fall.  I wrote her a trilogy of poems on love.  Below is the last.


FINAL THOUGHTS OF LOVE
(In Memory of  Marjorie, My Wife)

I saw you yesterday,
A great white puffy cumulus cloud
Drifting slowly across the sky

You opened up and gave me
One of your beautiful smiles
And then moved on.

I reached out to give you a kiss,
But you were too far beyond my reach
And will be so long as I remain on this Earth.

But some day, some year
I will join you
Two puffy white cumulus clouds

Slowly, slowly
Making our way across the sky
Hand in hand.
