when summer leaves

On cold days
I miss the warm touch
of her eyes
on my face
as I struggle to awake
without forgetting

    Beautiful choice of words reflecting a truth. There are days I have to concentrate so hard to remember a single feature of my husband’s face and then when unbid, he’ll appear before me laughing at me, inviting me to lunch. He’s been gone for twenty years and I miss him every day but I don’t always see him. Thank you for understanding my mistake. I love this shadorma.
