Separation Lament

A note of longing
A bridge of belonging yet seldom spanned

A soaring arrow

Sheathed, long and narrow, grounded, banned

A willing yearning

Rarely learning the depth, the breadth

A silent missing

Should be kissing the mouth, the neck

A burning ember

Do you remember the fire, the heat

A rough journey home

A breath my comb your gently blown wheat

An exhale in grandeur

Caressing your hand, your hair, your smile

A victorious battle

We’re back in the saddle of one for a while
