Maman



She started to leave, but I held on
A moment longer – the end foregone.
Tarry a heartbeat more, my love
May that I capture these grey eyes now.
She smiled and said “It’s a dazzling place
Hues brighter may, then, fill the space.” 


Wise Woman she was; She spoke of my days -
Keeping up with Life at a dizzying pace
True I see her words were, then. I smile again 
Strike worldly deals, consider losses and gain
In a world devoid of the Love that was She
Every dusk,though, I ponder where Home may be.
