Your laughter
comes back to me like
water falling,
raindrops splashing,
blackbirds calling,
tall waves crashing
against far shore of
this rocky heart that stands and
listens for the sea.

Words you spoke
remembered now like
a symphony,
sweet surround sound
ecstasy, such
pure harmony,
blessing and hex
that echoes ever
in chamber where I buried
your fresh memory.

Come back to
me again, laugh like
bubbles rising,
songbirds singing,
sun surprising,
summer bringing
untold stories of
joy abundant to frozen
tundra in shadow.

Speak to me
again, tell me like
I never heard
those words that moved
me, stirred me from
sadness, slumber.
Let me listen
for now, forever,
hear all you have to say.
Let me share quiet moment;
start fresh with this day.
