Last night in my thoughts
an image of you in shimmering light.

My tears glistened in reflection

brought forth by the ache in my heart.

Oh, the trembling in my soul

craving the gentleness of your touch.

The bitter chill of emptiness

thirsting the warmth of your smile.

In anguish, I close my eyes

awaiting the angels of sleep,

The pain of your absence gone

for in my dreams we walk together

Just as it should be ....
