The moon falls March white on old sycamores,
As good-bye as the glitter of a tear.
Warmth is a word too fragile to be said,
Love fey blue as a wisp of winter smoke.
The glamor is almost intangible,
Vision a whisper of its former self.
You clasp my hand to still the fleeting mood.
I promise you I will not close my eyes.

S, you are a poetic genius. I don't know why, but this brings tears to my eyes. Really so. And in the 'I don't know why' lies your genius, I guess. t x

Most beautiful, and fragile imagery, Sandra. 'As good-bye as the glitter of a tear' is a striking and inventive use of language, but the poem moves from strength to strength. The last two lines might bring the glitter of a tear, indeed. - Will
