The bed was empty this morning --
even with me and the cats in the covers.
You weren't in the kitchen, either,
brewing coffee or cooking breakfast.
No, I didn't find you there.
And you weren't in the garden
tending your flowers.
I told them you were gone,
but they just kept on smiling,
like idiots.
I looked everywhere but nowhere,
then fed your hummingbirds --
watched them zip, hover and zoom,
work the feeders, and fight for territory.
Wish I could fly away,
with you, right now, this morning --
but my heart is too heavy,
my wings too broken.
We were soul mates!
How could you be finished with me
before I was done with you?
Whose eyes will see you smile?
Whose hands will rub your cold feet?
Whose fingers will brush your hair?
Soft, long, the color of peaches in Spring.
I can still smell it.
The Cosmos saves everything
by changing it.
You changed in a heart break,
a change so sudden and complete
my breath ran away.
It may never return,
but I too, am saved,
for you changed me...
