How Will I Know 03/21/2021

How will I know if you exist?
How will I know if you care?
Do you hear me at all?
I’m lost in grief and despair.

Been with you dear one
For a long, long time
Speaking gently to you
For many years
Since you were born.

Messages muffled
With your noisy thoughts
Visual signs
Not seen
And lost
In the hustle and bustle of life.

Just breathe deeply
Quiet your thoughts
Welcome the silence in
Listen and feel
Tis love I’m sending now.

In space of everything
Love is revealed
As colors and sounds
Of nature

Far and near
That’s how you’ll know
My love is with you and real.
