I waken to a hazy world
Rub sleep from my eyes
And peer into the mist
I stand within a small bubble of existence
Alone save for the rest of the world that lives
Hidden behind this blanket of suspended water
And I catch the momentary glimpse
A sneaking movement of air that billows
Around the phantom of my heart
My ghost, my love
My fantasy
I feel you there
Hidden within the moisture
A dream of wanting
Just a breath of air
A sigh on the wind and
My name on your lips a shiver
Down my spirit
As I reach through space
And grasp at empty air
Your memory sliding through my fingers
And the sonorous lilt of your laughter
Echoing through my heart
