I'm talking to you constantly
In my head
In my heart
But on this day
when there ought to be so much to say
There are no words

No words for the loss
or the anger
or the empty hole in the atmosphere you left behind

Instead of talking
I'll spend this day listening
and looking
Listening for your whisper
behind the strings of Day is Done
Look for the glitter of amber
when the sun has come

But when my words come back to me
I will speak of dragonflies
and bare feet
of restless hands
and sudden smiles

Of an open mind
of an open heart
of integrity
and stubbornness
Of quriosity
of playfulness
of creativity
and shyness

But inspite of all the words
I know and can use
I can capture you
no more than I could keep you
here
with us

So dance among the stars for us
and sing to the comet's song

The world without you
is as dark as the winter sky
But it is in winterskies
you can best see the stars

Maybe one day
I will catch a glimpse of you
surfing
on the new moon

That is so beautiful Nina! Let's hope seeing him surfing! and you placed at a good time
