I don't know how to write about you anymore. The words that used to flow seemed so right, so beautiful. But now there remains only a vague hope, a fleeting scent of oranges and the sea. You are the place my Heart goes when I am broken open. You are the Home I long for in the early morning quiet. You are all good things to me, a symbol now of what once was fair. No matter how I try, you always evade my Love, and my Longing. You whisper to me in the night breeze, yet no longer reveal yourself to my tired soul. I can no longer touch you, or see you; I can only feel you somewhere in the deserts and mountains within. All the time I am searching, searching for you, though I do not know how I may find you. There is no chart of your endless seas, nor is there a path to your home in the old Blue Mountains. Here in this Garden I write for you, and my Heart........ My Heart cries for you. Perhaps one day, you will hear it.
A recycled piece from long ago, edited to be inclusive within the framework of the short stories I've been sewing together. Keep in mind that I wrote this originally for a real person before I edited it.
