With the absence  of you
my world seems so empty
like I'm walking in the sway
of multi dimensional void

Tears are dry but burn
in the space of "what if"
as I pine for the sunshine
of mornings glory

Fear sweeps over me
as I tremble at the thought
that you are functioning just fine
in the moment...in the now without me

Your return can bring two things
gut wrenching sorrow
or joy with no boundary's
love everlasting

In the absence of you
I simply feel less

These tears are tears you will never see
because I can't bare for you to know my truth
the truth is
For every smile that graces my face
inner fear grinds my heart to stone

When words of devotion seep from your
lips to my ears my body lifts into other dimensions
then is slammed to the ground wondering
when the words will consist of...
“I have to let you go”.

I pray to God and Universe
on battered knees and am left
wondering
is anybody really out there listening
perpetual dreams of worthiness being cast

I won't ask...

Flowers in hand while walking the river
each of my senses are reborn again with life

Songs of the birds permeate my soul
and feel like an earthen lullaby

The red hawk above glides through the air
with grace and ease while the sun kisses it's red feathers

Seeing the current of the river water and finding peace
while the fish jump leaving ringlets of remembrance

A bouquet of Trilliums and Lilies in my hand
drown me in the perfume, the essence of the sacred trees

Sitting on the grassy bank, knees to chest
toes dirty with...
