A/N: Number 82 of my 100 theme challenge. It's not really an one-shot/drabble, but then again, it's not really a poem...I dunno. Anyways, I hope it's not confusing...I really don't know where this came from.
As always, this is dedicated to my best friend Bethany. Sorry for missing church :(
82. Can You Hear Me?
My hushed whisper echoes through the soft night air
Can you hear me?
A lone tear crawls down my cheek and rests on your heart
Can you feel it?
My heart beats in perfect time with yours
Can you sense it?
The aroma of the pie I baked for our son's third birthday wafts into the room
Can you smell it?
The air grows warm as he smiles and lightly touches your heart
Can you feel it?
My strong voice wavers as I tell of how much I miss you and love you
Can you hear me?
0-0-0
Your melodic whisper reaches my ears through the calm sea breeze
I can hear you
My heart burns with love and comfort at your teardrop
I can feel it
Our hearts pulse as one, the rhythm soothing
I can sense it
The scent of your cooking is delicious; my taste buds yearn for a morsel
I can smell it
The sun peaks over the horizon and begins to shine as my son's tender hand brushes my heart
I can feel it
Your voice breaks as you think about the years still to come
I can hear you, my love
I can hear you
Edit 3/23/08: So since the people who run this site decided to go and take out all the dashes from the story that I use to divide my stanzas, I'm using the ugly 0-0-0. So sorry. I wish there was a better way to do it. If you have any suggestions, tell me, because I really don't like that. (LOL and yes, I'm copy and pasting this into all the ones I had to change).
Thanks for reading!
