An Earthy Forest Green

Brown like beeswaxed oak.

If you'd had an accident, I would have noticed.

If you'd been unwell, I would have cared.

You were not invisible.

You were my everyday everything.

I needed you, always.

I still need you.

Just as you were.

Faults and all.

~~~

When I wake up, I look for your messages.

Wait for an absolution or resolution.

Wait for peace that will never come.

But know, you were never invisible.

Not so long as you had me.

~~~

Time means nothing.

No one knows what will be.

I'll always believe the best in you.

And I don't care what you had to do.

One day you'll come home.

~~~

Just know, you were never invisible.

~~~

“All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope”
