Silently... Missing You

Here I stand at the edges
overlooking the cliffs below
remembering how we once soared
like an eagle
wings spreading far and wide
touching eternity, in awe of each other.

Off in the distance I hear the rumblings
a forecasting of the storm to come
foreboding as darkest of thoughts
begin to seep into my head
and shutting my eyes
I try to feel the winds warmth
kissing me, as your lips once had
instead of the chill, beginning to cloak me.

For a moment, my spirits are raised
Everything becomes peaceful again
I feel you beckoning to me,
swaying me in your hold.

The threat has passed...
taking a deep breath, I turn slowly
walking the edge, I blink back the tears.
And as dusk nears, light filters through the haze
my head is lifted, drawn by it's rays.
As the shadows blend into the deepening dark,
silently, I am bending life your way.

I found the imagery in this quite wonderful, as the romance throughout the entire poem.  Thanks for sharing.
