Lucidity

Quietly, I sit here
Looking out, looking past
All of it, all of the petty
Superficialities of this world
I reach out to hold you
But I find only the
Memory of your shadow.
Where are you, my love?
Where did you go,
After you left my arms?
Or was it I who disappeared?
Was it I who strayed
From the protection
Of our embrace?
I remember watching the starlit sky,
Listening to the hum of your voice,
Lulling me into comfort
As a single teardrop rolls
From my cheek.
