The Night Before Christmas...

It was our last night before Christmas, there were no gifts under our twinkling tree...
Candle lights burning, smiles, warm embrace, kisses...just you and me...

It is the night before Christmas, there are no gifts under my twinkling tree...
Candle lights burning...memories fill the room with love and images of you and me...

Merry Christmas my love,
Always and Forever
Trilby

Another emotional day...

Another emotional day, but at least it was a day that was for you...your design, your stone...

Twelve by twelve black granite polished surface
Reflects back images like a mirror to the soul
Seagulls flying overhead
Subtle movement of passing clouds
The wind blows across the placid surface
Ashes to ashes dust to dust…

Sunglasses hide the intensity
Tears reveal the pain
Rolling down hollowed cheeks
Fingers outline each letter
Spelling out your name…
