WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
. . . do I see you? . . .
//////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
When I close my eyes,
Do I see you?
Are you there in my mind?
My heart?
When I close my eyes,
Do I think of you?
Wish you were here?
Reach out for your hand?
When I close my eyes,
Do I feel your embrace?
Wish for the love we made?
Long for your company?
When I close my eyes,
I see ….
RELIEF!! PEACE!!
I SEE ME!
AND ONCE AGAIN, THANK GOD, YOU’RE GONE!

The Singer So Shy
She stood near the cold fireplace, watching the second-hand tick down to the hour. In another minute, the clock's bird would emerge and warble the hour. She reached up and touched the clock, tracing the gentle slope of the farmhouse roof, then trailing down the lilac strewn side, to the white fence framed dooryard. She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.
