When You Return

You left me And in your absence lives The memory of canyon echoes Jasmines after a spring rain Grass stains on blue jeans And the color of a sunset sky Reflected off chrome When you return It will be with the fanfare Of a hundred screaming seagulls Steaming hot chocolate Bluer skies, bluer jeans And the scent of jasmines That reminds both of us of home.
