As all her words glitter by, A most beautiful dust in the air, It feels like she's here again, Her kind eyes all but a fading memory, The sound of her voice, An echo of life, Silenced to our minds, Confined to the past, I wish your time had lasted, Even just a second more, Wish I had hugged you just one more time, But here I am instead, Staring out the window, Watching the leaves swirl by, Cradling your precious words away.
