Searching
Veleda
I see you
In sepia
Like a dusty photograph
Somehow recollected
As a dream
In my morning coffee
The rustle of dried petals
Is a symphony of the past
The noises don't deter me
Even as I ask
What would you hear in these sounds?
One foot in front of the other
Each day as it comes
Should I fear
Forgetting?
Will you be lost
In the cacophony of life?
No
There is no losing you
No force could ever take this memory
It is in my breath
And in my voice
Wherever I go
There you are
I feel you
Like the heart that beats in my chest
And yet
I want to touch you
Taste you
Run my fingers through your hair
I see you
In every smile
Every joy
But I want you
To see me
You are not lost
But neither are you found
The moon kisses me silver
As I sing her to sleep
Daylight comes
And I must search
You have always held my heart
But I want you to take my hands
I'll find you
Wait for me
