Reaching
I walk along a path.
I feel the rays of the sun beating down on my face.
The warmth engulfs me in its radiant light.
You're standing near the end of the path, arms outstretched.
You love me, I see.
My steps become a little brisker, so soon I am sprinting toward you.
But something's happened…I should have reached you by now?
I stop confused and out of breath, you seem farther away.
Fear engulfs me, a tear threatens to escape.
You're still standing there, waiting.
Again, I begin to walk toward you but still can't reach you.
You begin to look worried; sadness is in your eyes.
You begin to turn from me. "Wait" I cry out!
"Please don't go, stay with me."
You don't seem to hear me, even though I am shouting now.
"Please, please don't go, wait!" But soon I can't see you.
You've left me all alone.
A drop of rain descends on me, and the garden becomes a memory.
Left behind in its wake, is nothing but a plain dirt road, dissolute and empty.
I am soaked, and my very bones seem to shake from the cold chill in the air.
I look around, there is nothing on either side of me.
Not a friendly face, not a caring voice, not your open arms that looked so warm.
It is just me, I begin to walk as the rain gets colder.
The sky is cruel and menacing, but no shelter I see.
Nowhere to sit out the storm until it passes and becomes a distant dream.
Deep grief and despair overshadow me, and I silently begin to cry.
"Where are you?" I wonder, "Where have you gone?"
Alone In a world of my own creation, the screen fades to black and I awaken…and the tears come.
Waking up with a start I look over, lying beside me is the woman I adore.
I look toward the clock and wonder, how long I have until she leaves me once more.
Clad in her uniform and ready for war.
My dream is now buried hidden within me.
Lost in the fear that is now my reality.
My wife, my love, my Bailey.
