Among the intricate moments
life has offered so far
you are still the brightest star.
Each sensation has not been misplaced
nor erased.
Inside the heart vault is stored
precious smiles and laughter
quietly restored
to soothe my lost soul.
No tranquilizers shall numb the pain
words of sympathy cannot be heard
nor tears that have come and gone
ever replace intricate moments
but they are here within
where they belong.
