I see your face in this place every day.
Your footsteps resonate in every room,
I hear the sound of your voice
loud and booming
in every corner turned

the courtesy of a hello.

We are but driftwood floating, separately
on an open sea, but I don't know you
and you don't know me.
We are both trying to find our way back
to some peaceful shore

but you're not here, anymore.

"In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things."
-Barbara Ann Kipfer

Your heart perceives this absence and renders it with true poetic power, dear Donna.

Love,
