i close mine eyes to try to sleep
but my thoughts run and run
whilst if they must i try to focus
in the present but they always
seem to reflect upon the past
then because they do not wish
to rest, to bring dreams of lilies,
daffodils and verdant fields, they
come juxtaposed of faces, smiles
and tears, those from yesteryear
is it because they wish to speak
to me once more, letting me know
they’re okay, they’re still present
for my heart and spirit still to touch,
they are with me, are near, are here
i wish them well and glad to hear
but my world is still with my loved
ones in the present to hold their
hand, to kiss their cheek and feel
a warm embrace, their arms in mine
when i open mine eyes, her face
laying next to mine and she opens
hers, we greet with smiles then our
lips touch gently, she asks ‘did you
sleep well’, i say ‘yes, i am here’
