Can You Hear Me

I dropped a penny at

Your feet, saw you pick

It up, plucked a feather

From my wings, drifted

By your window, sent

Sunbeams to dance, 

Raindrops to make

Colourful bows in blue

Skies, the soft breeze

Carresses you, tousels

Your hair, guitar guy on

The subway platform

Played your favourite

Song as you waited for

A train home from a

Long day of work, what

Is fun in your life? Where

Is your once ever

Present camera, brilliant

Smile, infectious

Laugh? You still have

All of my clothes, my

Book open on my table

Untouched, I know how

Much you loved me, I am

In your heart as you are

In mine, I cry as I see you

Hold onto things once

Mine while letting all of 

Your living todays slip

Away unused as if you

Had died too, do you

Think I want that for

You? Please pick up 

The penny and smile, it

Is your time to live now,

Please do it, try, hard as

It is, I am there, I love

You always.
