In the space between……

I heard your voice

You sounded distant, a far cry in a deserted hall

Somewhere beyond the silent space that I occupy.

You are on the tip of my tongue

A familiar sound, an enunciated vowel

More than a cursory utterance of love.

In my dreams my arms reach out to embrace you.

I catch a glimpse of you as the shadows recede and the sun filters in through the shutters

But you have already left, and all I have is the empty space that you once occupied.

For Day 14 of napowrimo.

With love to all. May you have peace in your hearts and compassion in your soul.
