That Chapter Captured Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Vibrant and bright,
As if never to leave...
A budding in the midst,
Of an unfolding full bloom.
To be cemented in my mind,
With a love I found to find.
And believed it would stay to blaze,
In my heart forever glowing to grow.
Although...
Forever is not meant,
To remain as one intends it.
And high tides do come,
To fade away the sands of time.
When fresh were kept,
Fresh adventures before the fading of Sunset.
And yet...
That chapter captured on Padre Island stays,
In my mind to revisit where it remains reminisced...
With the one I knew love to never forget.
