The light goes out quickly;
it seems that so soon
the gloom of before returns.
But only if your eyes are closed.
Wide open, that memory lingers:
of light enveloping you,
giving you the clarity of sight,
of the possibilities which only
that light, her light,
could bring out. Mourn,
for the light has blinked out;
but rejoice, for the light
is eternal, suffusing
every heart, and burned
into every mind.
