The last words

The memories shimmer
As though In water
Renewed , recycled, unfading
Unbroken

Candlelit shadows
Whispers , echoes 
Of the past 
Last words repeated

Silently I keep
My own counsel
But the shadow stays
At my doorstep 

Sunrise will bring
Solace of a new day
Whilst the night
Shimmers again. 

As the sun glints 
Off the laughing eyes
Of a child baring your name 
I see you, at peace.
