Face in a storm


I saw your face tonight
Dark billowing clouds
outlining tousled hair
Hidden lightning
betraying passion in your eyes
Distant thunder
echoing your murmurs.
Subdued strength
reflecting your presence.

You asked
 if I will miss you
I answered
"Of course I will."
But I didn't want you to know
how much I did.

You blew into my life
twirling me like a cottonwood leaf.
You left me
with raindrops on my face
like the laconic storm
rolling by overhead.

I saw your face tonight
and remembered
how much I miss you.
