Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

Life, like a mist, comes and goes
What once was, is no more
How quickly life fades
Until there is nothing left
Only an empty space, longing to be filled

But the memory of those gone
Stays with us forever
Closing the space, keeping them
Perfectly preserved
Captured in our hearts for eternity
