A silence, whispers
past the corners of my mind,
covering my being with
an unprofessed love.
Nurturing Sun casting shadows,
bringing breath of life.
I lay awake, alongside my wife,
marveling at the fine lines
which gently, so gently
compliment the smoothness
of skin covering her cheeks.
Brown eyes closed, as she sleeps.
I want to talk with you,
as we did many years ago,
but know it will never be
the same. Never again,
will we share memories,
only mine, alone, as I
am mired in this existence.
