reaching
deep into this quiet
as the day
around me screams
listening
hard for the sound of you
the
breath, the beating heart
feeling
distance stretching
long and
much too far
the need,
the want, the ache
overwhelming
me
I know
that you are with me
connected
through woven webs
yet today
I feel trapped
dangling
by a thread
I can hear
your voice inside me
that
musical sing song sound
curling up
the side of my neck
calming
unsettled nerves
I can feel
your touch in my memory
the hard
and soft of you
you have
carved your name upon me
your
absence today I feel
my hands
are empty and fumbling
my
footsteps waver and quake
unsteady
and unbalanced
I am not
myself today
close my
eyes, deeply breathe
find my
way back into you
my body
moves with grace and ease
as we
become one again

ReplyDeleteWonderful capture of how it feels to miss someone you love. I'm always so happy to see you on my blogroll, even if you end up breaking my heart a little.
