#NaPoWriMo Missing

April 24, 2018

Century Plant

If I could put my finger on exactly what is missing
It would be easy to replace or at least replicate
The times we spent dancing, singing, learning to fly
The laughs we collected being silly as hell still abide
In the deepest memories of youth, folly and pride
Your presence has blessed me since you departed
I have not forgotten the dreams of the open-hearted

This poem is dedicated to Kristina Rudolf, dearly departed dancer with whom I shared many a soul dance.  Check out other poems and poets at NaPoWriMo.net.  The fun continues all month.
