I am sitting here
Wondering what to say
How to say it
Painting a picture
I sigh
Memories of yesterday flash
A distant smile creases my face
Your jokes, they make my day
No kiwani, am for real
As real as the sun that rises and sets
I see you in the eyes of a dream
In a piece of music
In a plate of delicacies
In a garden of roses
In an answered prayer
Until I see you, I will hang on to these images
