I Am Listening For You

There is only color here
and solitude and
 warmth of sunlight

A sense of waiting for
a flash of wings
and flights of fancy
that lonliness can bring

The bright delight of flowers
 and butterfly wings,
all  the joys of memory 
that thoughts of you instills
 like a jewel reflecting pool of blue

I am listening for you

Suzanne Delaney
