Soul Talk

I have not waited for you.
Just sometimes
when shadows lengthened
in an evening sun,
my soul grew restless
and I thought about you.

Nor have I searched.
You were climbing hills,
or holding our sons,
or looking at birds.
And I imagined your footsteps
seeking me.

My years have melted away,
I haven't held a single breath.
I should have held my heart out
It would have touched your light.
