Your words dance across the pages,
They swirl and twirl and laugh.
Mine are like bits of coal before them,
I hide them away in embarrasment.
When I miss you, I seek their laughter,
Your lightness and your fooling around.
Then I remember that though like coal,
You hold them close to your face.
How else can I put a finger on my joy,
That comes to me during saddest hours.
How else can give a reason for your
face,
Dark and long for so many dreadful
days,
The dark shadows are still on your
face,
Though it's been a long long long time.
