Ode

Sitting on the ground
Looking up into the clouds
Where are you?
Can you see me?
I feel you
They say it's all in my mind
Hearing the voices of those past and present
They're there
I feel them
Whispering, shouting, crying and playing

Laughter from your eyes
And smile
Warm my heart
All over again
If I could heal my mind
You would go away
I don't want you to go away
It's your spirit that makes me whole
Mine is useless without yours
When you died
You came back to me
To help me through my life
To heal my pain
And ease my mind
I saw your eyes
Just as you left us all
You were no longer here
In this world
I believe you passed into me
Why then don't you speak?
I hear you laugh
But never any words do you say
I miss you still
Even after all these years without you
My soul hurts
I ache to talk to you again
The kitchen arch
Your bed
The TV room
I miss seeing your red dot from the cigarette
You used to smoke at night
Your great giggle
Which always made me smile
You were the best thing in my life
At least after all I can still feel you
No matter where I am
You'll always be here with me
The owl watches over me
I hope it always will
