Lily.

Tears roll elegantly down her cheeks and she looks into the eyes the woman she loves so deeply.

A love so strong that her body aches.

She crumbles,

too tired to hold her head.

The Love for her was a breath away

And nature took it

Turned it in to dust

Blew it out

Blew it away.

Lungs too tired to raise or fall

Eyes too heavy to open

Sinking heart too tired to beat.

Only hoping that where she lies next, a peace it will bring and she will find all she left for.

The one she loved like love itself.

 

Lily Wilber 1919 – 2001.
