Paul Willason Poet Free verse

For You

For you I am here
being cooled by this breeze
coming in off the water, soul deep
in an evening breaking out in stars,
being soothed by the soft sound
of lapping waves filtering through 
the muted air.

And for you I take in the sky strung 
with the filaments of creation,
the moon veiled by a thin gauze 
of glowing cloud and see
in a long, faintly brushed ribbon 
of light, the edge of our galaxy
stretched out above.

And so,
I have become the means
for you to feel this evening,
its unfolding in time and space,
whilst you remain hidden
from me, unreachable 
behind the impenetrable silence 
of eternity.
