Dearly Missed

You are dearly missed
Like the absence of family
during the holidays

You are dearly missed
Like the soft sound
of a newborns' breathing
as it sleeps soundly
on the crest of a caring father's chest

You are dearly missed
Like a sandstorm
missing the quietude
of motionless nights

You are dearly missed
Like winter misses
wool blankets curled around toes
and deep, hearth fireplaces
both warming the body
and melting the merciless frost
in my eyes.
