The View From Here

Restless Bed



Alone in my restless bed
the night wind sings through the stars
Arguing truth with shadow whispered lies

In the distance a train whistle cries
into the chill dark.

Gusty west winds
rattle window panes,
curtains dance

And I shiver...

Wrap empty arms around your pillow,
breathe deep, seeking the last vestiges of your scent
Aching for your touch, your arms around me again,
your voice, your kiss
reassuring and promising
tender and sweet and passionate

The storm abates
the night breeze singing with the stars
brings remembrance of warm summer nights
of brilliant days, quiet dawns and still evenings
Of laughter and tears and promises and plans.

In the distance a train whistle cries

into the waning night
