Today...

Today,
Everything reminded me of you.
The contour of the pen
The song overhead
The rain on my face.

Funny,
I’m probably not an afterthought
You are self-centered
You’re already down the road
You’re in your place.

Honestly,
My imagination created it all.
The look was innocent
The laugh was casual
The silence, just space.

At lunch
I reconcile the past events.
We’ll see other again and again
We’ll talk and freely laugh
We’ll meet face to face

And I
Will die a little more each time
When your eyes light up
When your hand touches my arm
When you turn with grace.

And leave.

Until I know the Zeman Musing site is working for everyone... I'm reposting the pieces in both places. This is piece is a combination of a lot mixed up feelings and imaginations. It was fun to write again... I have to make more of a habit of it... HA... thanks goodness for the rain and how it put me sitting alone for a while.

Speaking of alone in a quiet house; I had an opportunity to record a reading of this.
