Like mist over lakes a forlorn sigh lifts… When I am alone, in deep reverie, Your graceful nymph like image gently drifts On the fairy-lake of my memory. Once again I see you, beautiful, young, Just like long ago on a summer's eve, When low on the horizon the moon hung. It's so real; I am ready to believe It's not a mirage; you're here in the flesh, Crowned as the queen of all the fairy-maids, Living, youthful, blooming, healthy and fresh… Then, as I reach out, your image fades… And as from my reverie I awake, Hot tears stream into the cool fairy-lake… © P J Oszmann (May 2008) © Illustration created in Photoshop (May 2008) Footnote: Within the next couple of days it would have been our 53^rd wedding anniversary. This will be the first one I “celebrate” alone…

Your memories and vision humble time and death. Your spirit and nobility are inspirational. Your words lend love the gift of immortality. And we all love you, Peter. You give us hope.

You are never alone, Peter, as she will be with you always...I do realize it is not the same, but some consolation is better than none...Ed

By the way, the third "e" is me...e

Like this mirage, to be seen by you and the photo is great imaging. Celebrating alone is no fun but has to be. Believe me I know what you are going through. On Aug 17 07 1st anniv of hubby's death is coming around for me. Hard time of it on holidays and you are finding this out too. My sympathy goes out to you but you made a great statement with this poem.
