mists on the pathway
under tall cypress  trees
floating leaves slow danced
on cold blowing wind

sprinkles of rain falling on upturn face
as the moon struggled to light
the clouds floating on indifferent skies
tears from tired eyes fell

you walked out of the mists
smiling your angel eyes sparkling
I reached out to touch your face
and grasped nothingness

I woke on wet pillows
wrapped in my blanket
of loneliness...chest hurting
from tears shed for yesterday.
