Lynn passed
Earlier this October.
Emptiness, nearness to tears,
Sadness not only from her passing
But from years of slow decline
With its turbulent start
And rapid conclusion.
I never knew how
To bring her happiness.
Yet there were moments
When our eyes met
When we saw together
Moments that often brought mutual joy
Moments sharing the pain and the inevitability of her condition
Moments when no sharing occurred
More of these as time wore on.
