To all old years gone

Time is a sure reckoning at all ends
where one is no more than the sum
of all that is left behind.

I see you at times
flickering in flames
and perhaps gas is the origin,
or at least, a foothold in my acuity
as pyrotechnics electrifies long lost faces.

This is to all that once
were touched by eyes,
by meetings with tenderness.

Rob Graber
The final stanza I find especially effective; so sad and sweet is "the sheer tenderness we once shared"...
