A couple’s

captured moment,

now church choir seat silent

as a finger faded photo slips away

and a shovel shifts dirt across a grave,

where funeral flowers looked pretty under the full moon.

Yet,

within the gutter floats an

origami letter

of a lost love’s words

that pens of a romance so old

where Old Man Time chose to stand still

as heaven’s angels held their breath

to watch the couple reunite

& relive within their

private portal

of paradise.
