ANOTHER DAY BEGINS THAT NEVER ENDS
You are present, but absent.
All I can see is your smile
greeting the day as always.
The light in your eyes still
Illuminates our bedroom.
You never did like making
breakfast, so I warm up my
oatmeal as I always did after
doing all the Yoga stretches
we used to do every morning.
I keep hoping I won’t wake up.
I want to join you and no longer
have to find ways to fill the empty
days that never end without you.
