In the bitter sweet silence of the morning
I miss your voice the most.
Before man or beast rise to greet the day
I wander the darkness searching for your light
A glimmer of hope, shimmer of light to guide
Me back from the dark places of my waking dreams
Tis here in the wee hours I find I need you the most
As ghosts of the past, present and future haunt
My tired mind and broken body, I yearn for a gentler time
Where summer door lay open at night and strangers
We’re friends you hadn’t yet met. The smell of tiny roses
Takes me to places where tears live in a child’s heart
And a mans body makes them rain from a stone facade
For it is in the bitter sweet silence of the morning
I miss your voice the most.

I loved how you opened and closed with the same thought…which, incidentally, were the lines that spoke most to my heart.

This is so lovely, Benjamin, really sensitive.
(typo first “your” – 2nd line, missing “r” – thought you’d want to know).
Beautiful 🙂

You’re brave! Not sure I could just “go” like that!
Glad you weren’t upset I mentioned it. I sometimes notice same in my posts on a reread & it drives me nuts – I think ‘ugh’.

From you I don’t mind bc I don’t get the feeling of ill intent from you where I’ve had others comment as such and I’ve told them to go away. But again from you I don’t mind .

No problem! You are a busy fellow and these blogs can be hard to keep up with. I don’t always manage to post or read as often as I’d like either.
