not here

[z edge]

I am not here
not gone
or
ever was

If you know then
why?

You let it go
and wished it away
carried in sounds
with visions of wind
speaking to the fields
and scent of smiles
I once shared

Swirly
up in the night
the clouds part
for you
but you are me
I live through
you
why
in God's name
am I both
do I
see
feel
breathe
love
for two

Set free
the spirit
your cage
cannot do with
not without
your spirit and captive
your nature
undoing
Holy cave
you made me

No light
small wind
only dust
remains
