Missing (Free verse) by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk
Pale light shines through the
trees causing your silhouette
to glow and pulse with the movement
of the forested hillside.
I watch you and wonder
to myself if you could possibly
understand the peace, instability
and radiant joy that your presence
brings to this pilgrim's soul.
Your gentle smile, your calming eyes
seem to be all that is left of you in
the darkness engulfing me.
I can see them though and it is enough.
Night falls, light fails, and I stay focused on you.
When the fog lifts, I know you will be there.
Under the oak, next to my dew-wetted pack
lies a flowering ivy that looks a little like you.
I draw it in my notebook
a memory of what used to be,
and still is, infinitely you;
Flowers in the morning gloom.
