    The Emblem of Eternity

As light vanishes into light
   and shadows into night,
all other things may come
    to naught,
yet you took hold of a place in
    my heart
that no one else could ever reach;
and there Love will remain
the emblem of eternity.
In the beautiful silence of
every dream its very face, form,
and spirit ... shall always be you!

Beautifully rendered, Bruce. Our memories, even the bad ones, are what sustains us during the cold, lonely days when we are into solitude thinking.

Ahhh . . . Don't guess she was close enough for you to give her a big hug and a Happy Birthday greeting.

Even sad memories can be turned into beautiful poetry.

Hopefully so (turned into effective 'poetry' that is)

Thanks to each of you for commenting on this 'write!'
