I Carry You in My Heart

RESERVED


Yes, you are gone.
Perhaps you moved to Paris with the job that we both agreed you could not pass up
or maybe you've crossed a river mythic and entered a land of mystery where we will someday
run to each other
as though not a day has passed...

Certain as the sun will rise I ache your absence
and receive you in dreams
that make waking feel like a task...

Yes, you are gone

But I carry you in my heart.

The ghost of you
The life of you
The wonder of our time together
in all its beauty, mundane and special...

I could either announce my love for you to the world
or keep it secret and silent in my heart
like a special stone
tucked in my pocket
on whose surface I run my finger over and over
until there is a groove
like 1,00 years of wild wind over the hills of Marin...

For some reason it appeals to me more,
that gentle confidence of loving you
like a confession only I can hear

A prayer
That things eternal now rest in His palm
as safe and loved as when they touched mine.

This bag is a lightweight one,
with a very long (42 inch) strap for cross-body carrying.
It is meant for someone who understands.

Inquiries welcome
