In the days when I was your sun
In the time of shared imaginings
We watched white manatees
swim across a sea blue sky
In the days of endless summer
In the time of possibilities
We lay belly down
on the sun bleached pier
and watched bull frogs part the duckweed
singing their anthems of revolution
Your heart
was a crystal
transforming smiles into rainbows
and rainbows into reality
Your laughter
was both wind and windchime
My cause and
my effect
I breathed it like air
Aware of it only by its absence
When you are gone
Time ticks away
minutes, hours, days
Rainbows fade to gray
And the clouds
are just clouds.

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen
