I see you

Can I just run away?

To where the skies are never black or grey,

..where the sun shines just slight,

..neither too dull nor too bright..

Can I then just be,

..allowed to dance and smile happily,

..with no cares and no sorrow,

..and no worries of tomorrow?

But then, all will be in vain,

..when the heart still feels pain.

For sad memories and time,

..can never be erased with rhyme

Your life contribution, they still cling,

..as attestation to your being,

- A confirmation of your presence.

- A proof of your essence.

As yet again,

..with a sigh...

I see your shadow in the light

..I hear your silence in the riotous noise

But when I look to see and listen to hear,

you are far, and nowhere near
