I Hear

Now in moments of sorrow and joy, I hear
Your voice gliding as a gentle zephyr,
Cloaking me, wrapping me in a protective shroud
I see your smile in every ephemeral cloud

Transitory rainbows give spectral hints that you are near
Now in moments of sorrow and joy, I hear
In the gentle murmur of a soft summer shower
Your touch delicate as dewdrops on a flower

Silent words of solace suspend in sultry summer air
Your timid embrace, a tender mantle of care
Now in moments of sorrow and joy, I hear
Your endless attempt to remove my fear

As whispered words of wisdom float on a warm summer’s breeze,
I feel your caress as you sigh through the trees
You told me once you would always be near
Now in moments of sorrow and joy, I hear
