Words lost over time
I search for
wanting to feel serenity.

Moments expand
but senses seem dead
as winds chills surround.

Months and years pass
as familiar tunes of
I love you mom,
or how are you?
are void inside ears.

Words still hidden
in the alcoves of ears
as time passes
and pain continues.

Sadness of emotions
rise and fall
inside levee of heart
as he holds the key
to my balance.

Distance and busyness
brings one into actions
so my search continues.

Perhaps, someday I will hear them.
Perhaps my heart
will be lifted
to fly.
