Just as we dreamed it. Sitting
side by side, distant mountains
reviewing the hills climbed,
crags staggered over,
valleys descended. Drained
now of color, just the essence
of Us. Together. Remembering.
Being. More real than the dream
lost by your too-early death. This,
too, I remember.

His really was too early Sarah but we do continue keeping memory alive. Thank you for the poem.
Thanks for your comment. Thanks, too, for company and camaraderie last week under the hot Texan sun. So good to be together, if briefly. He would have loved it.
What a lovely tribute to Dad paired with an evocative image!
Thank you! This was one of my poems from the most recent Marathon challenge. The image was the provided prompt; these are the words that spilled out. Glad to have a place to share it. 🙂
My heart goes out to you Sarah. What a beautiful piece in honor/memory of your beloved.
