If you were here

I would look into your eyes
with the eyes of sorrow
and bow to love
looking back at me

I would open my arms
to receive the presence of you
and surrender to life
embracing me

I would whisper to you
a song of joy
and listen to the music
revealed to me

I  would stroke your hair
with fluttering fingers
and soothe the longing
imbued in me

I would sit with you
in reverence
and surrender to the silence
holding me

I would promise you
to always remember
that you were here all the while
inside of me

Teaching me to turn my eyes inwards
and then outwards
to realise that everything I see and touch
is freedom.
