TO FEEL AGAIN

Decades of association suddenly ceased.

She- so precious, her life merged in oblivion.

Her simplicity, affection, a sad reminder-

Of life's vicissitudes-she is gone;

l loved her, I can't feel her again.

She was a shriveled frame, thin,

Her hair disheveled, body cold,

Life flittered away, while in sleep

Flames consumed, the body ad bones

Can't feel nor see her helpless smile.

A tear trickled, later turned to sobs,

Uncontrollable sobs, gasps, breathless

Just thinking of her, now calmness-

The myth of this life, once exist

Later disappears, never to feel again.

The reality remained history, the past.
