Gone Poem by cathy clough

he bowed
she beckoned
they stared...
wishing, wanting, waiting.
he moved
she neared
they met...
curious, crazy, carefree.
he led
she followed
they danced...
flitting, flying, free.
he smiled
she laughed
they began...
learning, living, loving.
he worshiped
she adored
they belonged...
timeless, telling, together.
he asked
she answered
they united...
accepting, achieving, always.
he wondered
she wavered
they wandered...
uncertain, unraveling, undone.
he wearied
she tired
they collapsed...
mindless, meaningless, mournful.
he walked
she drove
they parted...
drifting, driving dying.
gone...(and all that remained was a small sliver shell of mirror
containing reflections of forgotten memories) .
