A Memory

I find myself, here, time and again

When the taunting sun
Glares above on blue sky's canvas,
And the warmth of daylight
Surrounds and consumes me,
A memory of your smile crowds my thoughts,
As longing clouds my mind,
And loneliness my soul…

And for a moment,
I'm fooled into believing
That you only smiled that way with me…

When the heavens cry
And shower the earth with their tears,
And the sighs of God
Whistle and sway
Through each cool breeze,
And each throaty roll of thunder
Surrounds and consumes me,
A memory of your words clutters my thoughts,
As sorrow claws my heart,
And despair my soul…

And for a moment,
I convince myself that the voice I'm hearing
Is yours.
And not just the echo of my own cries…

I find myself here, time and again.
Thoughts of you in my heart
Words of you on my tongue and my lips…

Here…

When morning breaks the darkness,
When the twilight deepens to black…
With every solitary heartbeat,
With every blinking eye…
With every breath that fills my lungs,
With every sigh that escapes my lips…
With every moment I cry to the heavens
In daylight and in shadows
Time and again

Unable to hide from the whisper of you.
