Tapestry Of Life, Elegy Poem by Panagiota Romios

Tapestry of Life


In the graveyard overlooking San Francisco Bay,
Her husband's young body doth rot and in profound silence lay.

Overlooking that city, where he married his young wife.
Who now recalls the beauty of his all too short, vibrant life.

The many walks on those heavenly hills, the poetry they read.
The coffee shops of North Beach, alas, these aromatic memories
fill her widowed head.

She stills dons her inexpensive, gold wedding ring to this very minute.
And when she touches it, all the magical love they shared, is still in it!
