The field ahead stretched forever
Sunlight piercing through the clouds
A sea of yellow blossoms
Dancing in the breeze.
I walked through
Brushing my hand across their flowers
Pollen gathering on my fingertips
The sweet aroma flowing through the air
Flowers parting in a clearing
Broken stones once neatly arranged in the center
One standing tall above the rest
Weathered and cracked
Stone battered and bleached,
Worn by years of sun and wind
I knelt before it.
It still read her name,
Years after she left.
