Loss

crying, weeping, sad
alone 
the wind contorts
whistling, whispering, chillingly bold
still
as in stillness?
no, just still
be still, sit so to be forgotten
soon shadows close in
holding tightly
the fears of loss
where did it go
a precious moment
lost
soft grey fills the space
where you once sat
next to me
not long ago

Hard day today; just needed to close my eyes and let my thoughts drift aimlessly across the letters; stringing them together subconsciously, like a weaver after years of labour, not needing to look; the weight of the words rush forth like a river echoing the tears falling on silk.
