Twelfth day

The sound I hear is nothing,

But how is it I can hear it

The wind out side is rushing

As the leaves are stolen with it



I’d sit in the room thinking

How does this world work?

As I’d sit next to the window peeking

Where all the cobwebs lurk



Already the day has passed

As I watch the sea gulls fly

How is it this feeling has last

As I look up into the sky



Heaven’s breath upon me

The beauty of it shows

As I am the first to see

The first magic star glow



I curl up tight snug n warm

Head resting on my knees

Blessed this star that was born

As I stare at it through the trees



Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight

Wish I may, wish I might

Have this wish I wish tonight



The star delivers a blink

Within the mist of cloud

I’m sure it was a wink

I new you would be so proud



Leaving behind me footprints of sand

I soon found that you were no longer there

With the rose I once placed in your hand

I once again, just stand there and stare



My skin I feel is damp

As i resist wiping the tears

My hands against your bed sheets are clamped

As I keep denying my fears



This is the twelfth day after your leaving

Every day I have made the same wish

Every one around me is deceiving

Because I know god will bring your soul back to me

Just for one last kiss
