Like a slice
Of warm pie
The east glows
An iridescent buttery
Pastry flaky yellow
And disappears into
The gooeyness of
Midnights blueberry filling
Ala mode naturally
With the appearance
Of Saul now
Melting into daylight
Bite after delicious
Bite I too
Become this day
Where do you
Go when I’m
No longer thinking
About you what
Happens to you
When I don’t
Remember what you
Sound like you
Must go somewhere
Anywhere but here
Disappearing like sand
Foot prints out
To sea you
Go with all
The others to
Be free with
All of them
No longer held
Here by me
And then you
Said that you
Haven’t seen me
In so long
But my love
The heart sees
What the eyes
Cannot the truth
So when your
Eyes miss me
Just know that
Your heart doesn’t
Through tears of
Joy or sadness
A well placed
Kiss is like
The comforting hand
Of God Himself
Here let me
Ssssh it’s okay
Be still now
Like laying on
The bottom of
A cold clear
River bed and
Watching the rainbow
Trout shimmer past
This morning’s dawn
Is the same
Bands of soft
Red surround streaks
Of blue as
White gray tops
The swimming sky
As suddenly as
It appears it
Darts away giving
Way to the
Calm blue water
There above me
