Sleeping beauty
Sleeping beauty
In the stillness of life,
he sits on the couch gazing.
As the sleeping beauty was witnessed,
next to the coffin with emotions raising.
The neighbors, the friends, and strangers mourn the loss.
While the elder man remained in silence while praying at the cross.
The memories of the trailer flashed on the lost pair of Alzheimer's minds.
The sandcastle that they built together.
The teenage promises of blether.
The struggling peaks of survival.
And against all odds their love kept revival.
As the orchids lost the fragrance.
The strong dwelled in vagrant.
He lost the personalized listener as he waited for a visitor.
In all his waiting,
His bond with her strengthened
like the wedding ring,
as the souls were attached
to the string.
Where physical presence
didn't make a difference.
