Gorgeous!.....
How well I remember.....'-)

I thought this was beautiful. I love the flow, the word choice, your description and the way you have ended it as well.

Passion is felt sharply
in the final moments:
The desperate
clutching that occurs

^This is so true, now looking back and making myself think this is just a great description for what happens when you feel something or know something is falling away.

Good choice of words. Well expressed feelings. A good poem.

Ah, Sibby. I've had a soft spot for your writing for so long now. You are a beautiful soul and your words speak to me well.

Never quit, dear. :)
