Though You Are Gone

Though you are gone
There still always
Will be

An ache where once there was a glow
A pulse where once there was a beat
A sigh where once there was a kiss
A smile where once there was a laugh

My life moves on
But there always
Will be

A spark where once there was a fire
A drop where once there was a storm
A blade where once there was a field
A grain where once there was a beach

I won’t look back
But there always
Will be

A word where once there was a poem
A note where once there was a song
A frame where once there was a scene
A flash where once there was a muse

My life is full
But there always
Will be

A cloud where once there was a sky
A plume where once there was a bird
A ray where once there was a sun
A beam where once there was a moon

I look ahead
But there always
Will be

A strand where once there was a rope
A stone where once there was a bridge
A tick where once there was a time
A spot where once there was a place

My life has changed
But there always
Will be

A hush where once there was a sound
A thought where once there was a tale
A wisp where once there was a dream
A hope where once there a love

For you are gone
And yet remain
With me
