In the twilight, loves last blooming Sat she there as if of stone In her mind the thoughts were creeping To the past where love once lived Through the years, two lives had mingled Sharing joy and love and tears Now she sits, looks ever backwards Yearning for the love that's gone Though her hair now all is silver And her hands do ceasless shake In her eyes there lives the youthful Memories and feelings still Few regrets she has to offer Of the life she lived with glee Children born and raised with laughter Beside her Great and Grand now stand In the twilight, loves last blooming Place she there upon the stone All her love and life's true treasure Symbolized within the rose Lay she there amoung the sleeping Reaching past her life's last breath To the one who is now waiting Waiting for his heart once more There they run with wild abandon Young once more in heaven's realm Joined in love that is enduring Two as one are One again [This message has been edited by Marilyn (edited 01-31-2000).] |

Marylin, This is gorgeous! There's an old Zen saying, "One plus one is two, but sometimes it's just one." ~Gene [This message has been edited by u_gene (edited 01-31-2000).] |

"In the twilight, loves last blooming". Wonderful line! That which follows is equally good. DH |

Oh Marilyn this is wonderful that you have these beautiful memories in your past to look back on and enjoy. I have been thinking about these things a bit lately and I though about how sad it must be for a woman that was married to an abuser or womanizer to look back on her life with sorrow...missed opportunites. After losing a spouse thru diviorce or death can we look back with loving memories or discust. It is so precious that you have loving memories in your past. A very touching poem. James |
