Last Moments

Delicate fibers musically enchanted
By a single brush of the finger;
Breathing lightly across the room,
Gently forming to fade out of range.

Silence conquers, deferring time utterly.
The only affecting sigh is of respiration.
Once vacant eyes display sorrowed glances.
Incomplete thoughts link, splashing vividly to life.

Penetrating the hushed abyss, cries take flight.
Loved ones shed gemstones of unspoken words.
Ghostly murmured whispers shatter hearts;
Each soul’s past lingers back to surface.

Hands grasped at each other for comfort,
Soothing embraces met a fragile fate;
Illustrating lasting memories for remembrance
Tenderly kissing the confidence of life farewell.
