It may--or may not--be a recurring theme

"The Wake"

Hold her while she's close to you.

Freeze smiles in this place.

You'll memorize

the quiet eyes,

trace fingers 'cross her face.

Be wary:

She's only temporary,

for "nothing gold can stay."

A spot-lit Now

then takes her bow

and joins your Yesterdays.
