Don'T Miss Me

Don't miss me for I'm never very far, glimpsing your days from a secret star. I'm among flowers that grow by your side, resting on rainbows when hoping to hide. As stars sparkle in the misty moonlight, should a lone one capture a naive night, or, if the summer breeze ruffles your hair, it's because, for the moment, I was there. Music you hear in a soft, summer's breeze, is our song I'm singing to sleepy trees. If not there, I fly in a peaceful place where love can exist in a groundless grace. I often meet you in whispers of air, the song of a bird, sunlight on the stair. I'll caress you when time gathers us nigh, Together we'll explore the seamless sky. March 16, 2023 for Brian Strand's Number 1199 poetry contest POTD
