in the shadows

How long has it been
since you died in my arms,
how long since your warmth filled my soul?

Why is it now that we're real worlds apart,
I still feel you by me when I'm all alone?

Why in a crowd do I see your small form
moving quickly like smoke through a screen,
how do you borrow the face of a stranger
just to smile at me through her eyes?

How does my sense for you stay so alive
that I still hear you laugh in my dreams?

Why are these tears in my eyes as I write,
it's so many hard years that you're gone.

Your thoughts and stunning words dance within the image of my
own feelings after I have read your poem.
Mesmerizing . . .
