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.
