I try to put those thoughts away
but carry with me still
moments of togetherness,
an exercise in will.

They rise and fall with every breath
to keep my mind from lack.
I'm missing you when sight unseen,
but words keep me on track.

A rhyme-a-day or maybe two
give life to what is still.
The tunnel's end seems brighter now,
a destiny's fulfill.

The warmth of Spring, the newness of
reverts me to a child.
I feed on thoughts that rearrange
my innocence, beguiled.

Remembering my airport blues,
or comforts hand in hand,
or miniature, that day of golf
when mine would always land

anywhere but in a hole
unless I placed it there.
You are always here with me
when I am solitare.
