I cannot bring you back
from death my love
even though my dreams
are haunted by your very vision
painting you onto my canvas
is all I can do
awakening my soul each day
body shaking
mind so tired of your absence
alas…
dreams of you
dreams filled with colour and hope
we can no longer physically touch
yet, I feel your warmth
and I wonder if someday
we will reunite?
in this…
my beautiful painting of
wild flowers.
