Yesterday by sunset

***

Yesterday by sunset

I wished you were by my side

that the sky were ours, once more, 

that our worlds were not far apart after all

Yesterday by sunset 

I remembered the sly twinkle in your eyes

And the reverent and contemplating feeling

that one only knows before a naked soul

Yesterday by sunset

The air smelled like grandmas' pie

Wild berries playfully smiled at me

and sang the last strophe of your favorite poem

Yesterday by sunset

I saw white clouds in your eyes

shining, protecting, hiding, dressing 

Your soul, me, the clouds in between

Yesterday by sunset

I asked the wind if he had heard from you

He dramatically shrugged his shoulders

and gently pointed the sunset
