I sought
the beautiful thoughts
Seeking
the most beautiful words
Searching
to know the intangible
essence of all
the beauty I could behold

Gathered memories
Stored then unearthed
To gaze upon in solemnity
and remember the best

The touch of a loved one
The moments sublime
Smiling memories
of my children
A glimpse of
The Devine

Treasured eternal moments
that never slip away
The joy and grandeur
of a few seconds
In memory held still
to cherish in my mind

Still in such a moment
the remembrance of
insufferable pain
But yet though
the tragic beauty of
eternal moments
forever still remains.
