My Mind's Eye

I saw you down at the water,
toes barely in, head down...
viewing your reflection I suppose..I don't really know.
Looking from behind, it's only speculation..
Perhaps those hazel eyes were closed, and you weren't
seeing yourself, strangely enough, looking back at you.

I like your pant legs rolled up..
Just barely above ankle's crest..
The gentle breeze as it converses with the hairs upon your head.

The peacefulness of this day sings a song all of its own...
Memories of being close to you, all at mind's forefront---
But I am happy to let you go, to release you all to yourself, to life.
These conversations I have with God will never cease,
About you, your humor, the soft speech upon your lips,
The way you moved me...in a time where soul felt bankrupt.
