Missing things


I'm lonely for the perfume of sun warmed roses,
the spun sugar clouds of the morning sky

smell of rain on willows by the river
small breath of wind, soft as a sigh.

thunder like rolling wagon wheels.
red cedar swing in the dusky twilight

tiny stars glimmering in
the freshening of night.

raindrops like tiny soldiers jumping out of puddles.
a calm place to be alone and think out all my troubles.

filling my own needs instead of having them filled
caring for my garden and consuming the yield.

Someday I will be old.
Some things I'll no longer know.

Maybe I will lose my thoughts
and all I sought to hold.

I will miss the wonders
I've lived in and loved

and the influence in my life...
of God above
