I’ve not seen it for years
but I hear it, feel it
fluttering its butterfly wings in my soul
flitting through the garden of life’s memories
flying through my dreams
her smile
what would life be
without the heartbeat of love
without this boundless joy
this radiant light
that melts the clouds of doubt
the storms of despair
away
away
her smile
how can something
so long unseen
still fill my heart with hope
I am blinded by the bliss of love
