cavern
dark,hollow, deep, chill
emptiness was the cavern fill
nothing moving but some thing felt
a tremble of air in, out
waiting, inhale , exhale, breath
is it still there? wait, waiting still
how long for memories to fade?
Sunlight, sharp stab arcs through
Smiling, crippling thrust
Laughing, wanting to double over
and as she walks away, nothing
for a long while jus this waiting
but the forces build
like a growing mountain
in the distance? no longer, here
a touch, touch? i turn
trees are budding into bloom
birds start their tentative sing
color comes back to world
i was me again in her smile
