Chrysalis

The sunrise wrapped around my soul today
and held me apart in petals of light.
Emerging, as from a chrysalis spun
in darker days, through you I find the sun.

Shadows from our past, not so long ago,
floated by in wisps of melancholy
over snowy fields and into the sea
and once more I wept for you and for me.

I felt you then, your arms wrapped around me
in our own Liebestod. What do you want?
Your voice was tender. Only you, I said.

It may be difficult for I am dead.
Perhaps we’ll start with chocolate. Who knows?
Maybe you’ll learn to fly. Don’t be afraid
to try, my love. I’m never far away.

You made me laugh, and so began my day.

Your eyes are in the photographs you took.

Your voice is in the music, in the wind,in the rain

and your smile is everywhereI look.

You are my cure for mal de mer.
