The Veil

This morning
When I awoke
Surrounded
By thick gray veil
I didn’t see you

I couldn’t see
Your body swaying with the breeze
Your leaves dancing in the sunlight
Your limbs reaching toward me

I panicked

You are not there!

My heart ached with sadness
Where are you?
Will I see you again?

The mist finally lifted
You appeared

You were there!

My limbs reached skyward
My body bent towards yours
My heart sang with joy

You were there!
