Time's misted curtain
Has been lowered now,
To hang between
Your dreams and mine.
No seeking hands
May rend its strength,
Nor prayers prevail
Against the somber silence
Of its muting folds.
Here, my dreams,
And in the dimming distance,
Yours...divided now,
That all too long ago,
Were one.
Remains but the silver dust
Of remembrance,
Scarred by the drop
Of bitter tears.

"Times misted curtain has been lowered now"
Gosh I love that line. You always write something beautiful and expressive of the pain, that we have been through.
