I think of you.
Every scene since the day we met

your ghost lingers in my arms

The land lies silent
Beneath the icy embrace
Trees stand still, statues
Whisper of life now dormant
Yet hope lingers in the cold

Absence

Her heart lingers far
Beset by constant turmoil 
Keeping its distance 
From other heartbeats and souls
It withers away, it dies.

Darkness

Darkness comes and darkness goes.
Or is it here to stay?
A new dawn comes accompanying the day.
Yet still the darkness lingers on.

be brave
when darkness comes
and braver still
when not for you
it lingers in
the broken heart
and feeds upon
unquenched desire

Love of God always lingers;
Heard in voices of singers;
Seen in face;
Race and place;
And in fingers of bell ringers.
