Treasure

The autumn leaf fell 
silently
but I heard it's whisper
as it brushed the grass
with a kiss

The gentle breeze 
carried your voice 
across the ocean 
over miles of deep blue

I want time 
to crawl by slowly
but it's a freight train
thundering through
my days

Your memory floats
across the summer sky
like the seagull
that peers down
at me

The image of your smile
lingers like a shadow
of dusk
It reminds, yet aches
to be seen again

Grains of sand
wriggle their way
into my heart, like you
on that fateful winter day
with snow

Yet I know it's coming
the soft hush of spring
Once again shining
life into the closed
blossoms of flora

It shines
and breathes
like re-birthed lungs
The cry of a babe
newborn to the dark world

I wait
and hear the whispers
feel the gentle touch
of eternity
as it stretches
on fire-kissed wings
