Today

Source


you were there today

I heard your whisper
on the breeze that passed by

I saw you in the eyes
of the child playing in
the waves upon the shore

I felt you in the warmth of the
sun that caressed my skin

yes you were there
if only but a moment

but a moment was better
then nothing at all

That's beautiful. It reminds me of the book I'm reading called It's All Relative by S.C. Stephens. This poem would go perfectly as the Prologue to this book.
