Linda Alice Fowler Poet Monorhyme

You Were There

I like to think that you were there
when muezzin trills called to prayer.
Calm stillness drifted in au clair,
my thoughts were pining on the air.

I like to think that you were there
as pastel-colored skies so rare
unfolded day's soft morning glare.
A comfort holding no compare.

I like to think that you were there
in uniform, so debonaire!
A dream of mine and yours to share.
We two were one, a single pair.

Desert winds shifted sandbars bare
with hateful, boastful, intense flare.
As I stand in hypnotic stare,
I like to think that you were there.
