The candle
I watched intently as the wax slowly flowed from the candle The flickering flame melted my memories upon the mantle I prayed the flame would not go out taking all that I cherish Love, life,laughter and all things good and rich In the flame I see the smile that touched my heart Fond recollections of events in the distant past Shadows of a time once glorious played upon the wall Alone,I sit and wait to answer to your call Our candle held so much hope,sweet serenity in a world turning way too fast Can time stand still, Allowing the candle's flame to last? But now the slowly melting wax signals the end Of hopes and dreams, no more can I pretend It has been a journey for you and I The time has come to say a sad goodbye I place the keys to the door upon the mantle And take one last look at the melted candle. 05.04.08

As the flame condenses down I realize your no longer around.
Here, alone always waited by the phone. Feeling so alone. Great write Miss Bonnie and so sad.
