You were my eyes.
Colors danced
the melody
composed,
My heart memorized...
Hushed dust
and tulip fields.
Pink sunsets,
On the edge of night
seeing,
Long roads
in my sight.
Through the years
I watched you sow,
Lovingly...
Your beautiful soul.
The seeds the sun
the caressing breeze,
An angel seeing to everyone's needs.
It was you that knew
all that was important
to me.
Wisdom kindness
faith and strength...
Our youth a timeless
remembrance...
The years months weeks days,
How beautiful and serene
our life...
You made.
My best friend,
Closest to true
while winding
through life's...
Confusing and knowing
of me and you.
To see you
I would be like me...
Long before that storm
came crashing in...
The one that gave
no clue or evidence
of when.
But now...
I get up and walk around,
Sometimes in circles looking at only the ground.
Now knowing...
What I have lost can never be found.
I wander in sadness
lonely conversations
For you to hear...
It is this garden
these silent days,
These tears.
