Silver Simplicity

A delicate silver chain
with tiniest of links
that sparkle
from just the right angle of light.
Hanging from this chain
is a purple pendant.
Pear shaped and surrounded by silver,
seems to go on forever.
To peer into its center
is to peer into the center of the galaxy.
When I need comforting
I dangle the chain
around my hand
so that the stone
is caressed by my palm.
Its delicate touch
reminds me of the way
she stroked my hands
on those long horrible nights.
This necklace
our only connection
is a perfect symbol of her,
simple yet everchanging.
I love it as I loved her
