Remember

My heart is breaking under the silence that's ringing in my soul

My face is a featureless plate of missing you

served for each meal not taken

each spoon stacked neatly in the drawer

no food for stone lips, wooden hands

If you hear me crying out for you through sleepless notes that hang in the stairwell

reach through the lighted window

and tell me you will always remember that I love you

Drifting ever further out onto the sea of infinity

Into the unknown and unknowable

Where it is only faith, and hope, and prayers

Embroidered billows, flowing, flowering teardrops

Finding fertile ground - There is the lesson
