A Poem of Beauty and Loss 

The morning light, a soft embrace,

once found its brightest, truest grace

reflected in your gentle eyes,

a private heaven, no disguise.

And in your touch, a whispered tune,

as fleeting as a fading moon.

What a shame, the words now start,

to feel this quiet, tearing art.

To watch a beauty, pure and deep,

or maybe, just beyond my hold,

a story left to be untold.

The laughter we could yet have shared,

the whispered truths, the moments spared,

now drift like petals on the breeze,

among the silent, weeping trees.

A canvas vibrant, yet undone,

before the masterpiece was spun.

A garden blooming, full of grace,

that slips from time, from every space.

No bitter cry, no harsh regret,

just gentle sorrow, softly met.

For some things are too rare to bind,

Your support means the world to us

a precious gift, you leave behind.

What a shame, the heart replies,

to wave goodbye to paradise.

To know the worth of what could be,

and watch it drift away from me.

A quiet sigh, a falling tear,

for all that was, and held so dear.
