I sit here in the stillness

Writing you poetry you will never read

Hearing your voice through the quiet

Like a long missed storm

Imagining your breath on my neck

As if you had actually been near

Saying to the emptiness

'I miss you so much'

As the sky does to the sun

Feeling the

seas rise from my feet

 

Swelling through my body

And raining down from my mind

I sit here in the stillness

Writing you poetry you will never read

Me te aroha nui
