Sonnet For Steven.

When silence fills the room where once you stood, 
And shadows fall where light from you once shone, 
I search for words to make this heart feel good, 
But find that all the comforts now are gone. 

Your voice, a whisper in the wind, grows faint, 
Yet echoes in the corners of my mind. 
I see your face, in memories so quaint, 
But in this world, no trace of you I find. 

Though time moves on, it cannot heal the pain, 
Of losing you, my guide, my strength, my ground. 
The days grow long, the nights a cold refrain, 
For in your absence, sorrow knows no bound. 

Yet still I hold you in my soul’s embrace, 
Where love for you will never be erased.
