Absence
Opens
My eyes
Wide
How could I
Have ever
Rushed through
A hug with you
Exchange of words
Was
Lovely too
I could feel
The universe breathe
In your
Heart beat
Swim
In the scent
Of you
Held close to your
Skin
Heart awakens
In the now
From memories
Of then
Grabs
The bright colors
To paint the
Wide open blue sky
Golden fields of wheat
Soft green grass
Nestling my feet
Sweet summer scent
Warm summer breeze
Laughter of family
Heart dutifully records these
Intimate memories
From which she will pull
One day
When absence once again
Graces her
Doorstep
And her ache
Breaks
The dull hue
Presents the threshold
Crossing
Will rebuild her
Anew
