Any Day


I can write of you and
when ink has left my pen
I am still so alone
your echo stirs as satin ribbons
that I rub between my fingers
I follow you timed steps behind
effortlessly you walk the sand
and all I find are remnants of you
shells strewn upon a restless shore
I gather up the fragile kitten prints
holding them closely to my heart
why do I miss you every day



"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

Helen, I have asked myself that same question. To this day, I don't know the answer.
