A haunting feeling as I walk in a room
Of someone there with me.
Not foreboding or harmful in anyway
Just letting me know it’s there.

A happy thought when all has gone wrong
That came from nowhere.
Long past or recent that was forgotten
To brighten a bad day.

A stirring voice in my aching head
That guides me on my way.
Foreign instinct in new situations
To guide me down a path.

A forgotten story remembered with a smile
To move my still pen.
Laughing face and senseless theme
To unblock a writer.

A faint smell of home-cooked meals
In a lonely hotel.
Reminding me of a childhood home
As if I was there again.

A subtle assurance in hard times
That helps keep the faith.
Your pride and love fill my heart
As a new road begins.

An unexplained knowledge on many days
That you’re right here
Defying religion and science in beliefs
Through your presence
