Something lingers about untouchable, but touching with pain...
Something Lingers … Something lingers about untouchable, but touching with pain... Something whispers to me, "Shout! Scream! Pray, then maybe something will not return Again." And yet, something always does settle in... It could be a voice, filled with accents... Laughter, teasing memories of when I last heard, I last felt, I last absorbed her scent... Something sits in the dimly lit room, Waiting under the dust of time...and fear. It may be porcelain, or plaster shadowed in gloom, Something that died in a long ago...so near. Something that brought a smile...gentle touch Of joy to have for the memory of a pet, A gentle touch of love that was, ohhh...is too much For this something within to let me forget...

I enjoyed this poem so rich in shadows that linger to remind us of ourselves and things we both love to remember and those we don't.
Superb!
