See You Again

I stretch my fingers
wishing I could reach
further
but the whispy,
clouded version
of the one I love
is drifting away.
I try to hug her
but the fog runs from my grasp.
I keep running
through the darkness
after the silver cloud
that is you.
I fall to my knees
and look up
your final smile
still etched on the ghost
no...

I wake.
you sit by my bed
I've never felt so grateful
to see you again.

    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
