Waking up to the familiar pain
of Absence, and Loss
Piercing through your chest
You refuse to rise
Duties and pleasures
No longer matter much
Close your eyes
Turn back Time
Turn back Time
Look into his eyes
See that smile
Listen
Feel his palm, remember
The time you first held hands
That leap in your heart
Recall his scent
During the restless nights it
Calmed and lulled you to sleep
The miracle of Creation
where the then bony shoulders
Seemed too enticing to resist
Bring to life the places you know
The sights, scents and sounds
And then him, and you
Your breaths become deep and steady
Tears roll down your cheeks, and
You smile, and open your eyes
You will face the day
