Sitting Quietly in May

Some might say,
 it's just another day
but the days so quickly pass
 age marking time far too fast;

spring was a season of mixed messages
 days of rain and dampened dew
 full of old memories, 
 walking the garden with you,
then came the buds, the blossoms, and the bloom
 life rushed on, 
 no regrets to exhume,
 the gentler days of flowering and you;

in looking back
 the early days moved slowly and steady
 with struggles through laughter, tears, and joy thready
 but you were there ever at the ready;
lost to the days of April into May
 and I am still here tears as I pray,
 my eyes on the stars
 wondering what happened 
and where you are.
