He used to sing to me
Time floated on the melody of his alto
Vibrating on chords that connected my soul with his
As light filtered through the eggshell curtains
I could hear the rising of the sun
He used to sing to me
The beat of his heart transfixed ours in tune
With every inhale
I knew
That space, change nor distance could erase
Our energies
He used to sing to me
The words meaningless, the breath he spared miraculous
For me he took those precious breaths
Giving me those memories I will never soon forget
