maybe not today,
but in our hearts,
we are one.

I see you

in the stillness of the snow
that blankets the meadow

in the kisses of couples
long spent together

in the rays of the sun
that slowly rises

in the rising of the choral piece
that praises your essence

in the hollow of my heart
steadfast in beating

I see you

At the end of the river,
the rocks stare helplessly
at the pristine stream of waters
spewing to form a waterfall.

I am helpless as ever
I watch you leave behind
the sound of turning doorknobs
like water at a plunge pool.

As the door closed behind you
the creak turned into a groan
I leaped off the rocks
to find you.

You were gone
So was I
floating in our torrents
of complete sorrow.
