Healing Aura

The sun doesn’t set

When you don’t come home

Sunrise may have been splendid

To me sunshine is your smile alone

The dinner tastes bland now

Delicious is your being with me

Even the apple of our eyes

Misses you exceedingly

When you phone out of the blue

Your voice sets my heart aflutter

The unsaid words chime an echo

I close my eyes and in you saunter

Words become sounds not making sense

Scenes run by as if someone else’s life

I live in a vacuum all by myself

Your absence cuts deep – a two-edged knife

Still I am happy, you know

I know it sounds queer

Distance proves time and again

How much you mean to me, my dear!
