Thinking of You

Curled on the couch
Sunlight soaking through the window
Letting the glow warm
my face
my sweater
my legs
A scanty tree shakes in the air outside
cool and crisp. Cutting
I think about oceans and lakes
wondering if I've even left the stream yet
I think about you
your wisdom
your kindness
your care

Curled on the couch
Sunlight soaking through the window
I wish you were here with me
your arms
your eyes
your smile
A scanty tree shakes in the air outside
I'm at the fork of the stream
Edging
Plunging
Listless
I wish you were here with me
instead of the rays
