It Is Spring Again
By Judith Dreyer
You said hello and good night
Yet the in between remained blank
You left me before you were gone.
Yet the in between remained blank
You left me before you were gone.
I searched for you in my dreams.
Once you walked by my side there.
I could not find you.
Silent as a whisper, fleeting as the wind
Your love surrounds me now.
I can move again to its whisper.
Though I cannot explain how I know
Your love touches me and wants me to begin again.
You were like the season of summer
Leaving me in the autumn.
I watched your colors fade as winter blew in.
I am grateful it is spring again.
Lovely, Judith. I love the line:
You left me before you were gone.
