Just Until We Meet Again

Just Until We Meet Again

Just as the wind blows the dust

Across the prairies,

through the barnyards,

over the fields and the graves,

so does it blow across the

desert of my heart.

The sands of time erode

The edges of my pain,

And healing begins again.

The anniversaries, holidays and

Special days that we celebrated once

Together, seem emptier than before.

Joy from being together, with love,

Once the light of my life,

Now appears as a dim memory

Of a life gone forever.

I see you in my dreams,

I hear you in the wind.

You echo in my heart,

You speak to my brain.

I feel your presence deep within

The cold corners of my being.

Why did you have to leave?

Why did we lose our way?

I see your face in the visage of others,

I hear your voice in the conversations,

The scent of your favorite fragrance,

The sight of roses reminds me of you.

Your favorite flower,

That you gave so freely.

Some day we will be together again,

Our paths will cross in time

I look forward to that day

When my life is complete once more.

And then the joy will return,

And we will never part again.
