You

I hold you to me, like a constant whisper.
A shadow, only I can see.
Next to my own as real as the hours in a day.
Side by side, my mind drags you along.
An insistent companion, you are to my every action.
Only evident in my little smiles and softened eyes.

Oh, but to sit undisturbed
Oh, but to dream uninterrupted
With the sun streaking through the leaves of a sycamore or birch.
With the sound of a goose not far away.
The water on a pond shimmering in a haze.

To breath your name softly.
Feeling it’s soft caress on my lips.
Tasting it’s reassurance.
The day a soft blur.
Hour on hour, unnoticed.
Daylight lost, evening found.
By my dreamsome
