Evanescence Poem by Diana van den Berg

Evanescence

Rating: 5.0


The light sparkled on the glass in your hand.
For a moment, I turned away,
and,
like the light,
you were gone,
but for an instant,
you and the sparkle were there,
…I think.

(December 1998)

You capture that which cannot be captured - with perfection and soul. Your final line adds a touch of humanity that is quite brilliant. Superb penning. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
