ALL MY JOY

With the mist rising above the lake
                all my joy slipped away. In its place
                dreams invade the interminable night, break-
                ing it into smaller, endless segments. Your face-

                another day, a different life; love
                leaves traces of poignancy behind
                it, vanishing swifter than a startled dove.
                Still I search the skies hoping you'll return. My mind

                cannot console my heart. Where are you
                now? Who laughs at your jokes, combs your hair,
                begs you to sing? Why was it so easy to           
                abandon this child that followed you everywhere?
