Like a mist
You float
You shimmer
And though daylight will bring your demise
You are still with me


Life it seems
Has slipped away
Leaving a rift
A void_________
An endless well
Day by day
Hollow worth[less{ness}]
Evanescent existance

When did color
Leave my sight?
Replaced with shades of grey and shadows
Stealing the light
Ebony/White

Tiger Lillies
That used to bloom
Filling me with their scent
Ever poignant
Have faded.

And with the rising sun
You fade
The shimmer is gone...
