A delicate web 

so dangerously beautiful 

is designed for death  

Life is fragile like 

a soap bubble built from a 

child's breath floating free

Your smile inverts time

taking me back through our life 

to the first shared kiss 

The whispering drapes 

danced in the breeze scattering

the bright morning light 

You clawed your way up

to what seemed like the apex

to find an abyss 

  

I heard a distant 

conversation, a cadence 

rising and falling 

Face the raging sea

with your eyes open and taste

salty air and smile
