staring out the window,
I remember you as you were

a bird always in flight

a fist full of tomorrows
held in the palm of your hand

staring out the window at the pouring rain
the warmth of your hand
pinions of a dove's wing
your hand in mine

I will not see the shadow
under your smile


gathering all the light in the room
like a flower in the sun

I remember you as you were

it was flashes of light
rebounding off of the various mirrors
blinding me, and making me reach towards you.
you were a tall sunflower,
guiding me through the messy roads
mixing your bright pigment with my navy blue
and creating a safe harbour—
a world of colour I never knew.

To the bone

      To the end

As a queen

      As a friend

Never lost

      Never through

Ever yours

      Ever true

In the morning

      In the rain

Take my life

      Take my sane

Be my love

      Be the now

Feed my hunger

     Fill the void

I know where this path leads.
