Description

I watched the candle burn with not a thought

in my mind.

But of course, there you were

It wasn't until years later that I knew

the candle I lit for you,

and the fire in my heart -

that's you, too.

I touch the trees because I like to think,

that we breathe the same space

that our lives have come

from the same exact place.

I feel the source there at the edge of my hands,

and it makes me wonder how close we are.

How close we have always been.

Sometimes on my way to bed at night,

when I look in the mirror, in my own blue eyes,

I think I see you

looking after me.

I've wondered how there could

ever be

a room you could not enter.

I have wondered so

many things,

with you, at the center.

About the steps I've taken and

the good I've made

About the promises kept and

the memories I've saved.

As I water the plants and watch the sky change.

As I set the table and fret

over a new picture frame.

I have not heard your voice in years,

but my heart still has conversations

with you every day.
