Pearls

As these -
Are the moments of you.
Of which I have strung so carefully,
graciously, reverentially, remarkably, unforgettably
along the thin line of my mortality’s thread.
Thus as I gingerly caress these benevolent baubles of memory
I am in awe of how precious, how priceless,
how infinitely timeless a single grain of sand can be
when encompassed by the essence
- Of your soul
