'And'............
had the night not grown so quiet
the whispers of thine heart
could not have been so easily heard
had the moment to join one's thoughts
with the silence
been a ballast upon which to sigh
the dark angel would have missed
the appearance of your grave presence
as solemn to say as that is absurd
a succulent save it truly was then indeed
for mine vacant anguished eyes to have
to read
pity, so like a vaporous cloud rises
to flutter the emptiness away
ego is not the self
and despair not a weed
a distant star is still a star
is she not
twinkling in your night sky
for all the world
but most especially there for you
to tirelessly see
moments are tiny increments of time
that add up from the drone of days
more and more have fluttered by
so count each your resolute breaths
for you both know
deep in the heart of these two joining chests
she is never that far away..........
