Void

When you are gone

The void opens up and takes me down

To memories of times

I was all alone 

With no loving hands to hold me

And I remember how it was

To have become a stranger to my body

Always living too far above the truth of cells

An exile from life

Torn away from love

But now the void is not so empty

I seem to find here

Comforts of a kind to sustain me

A blanket of solace to surround me

A boat of being that carries me

Over the turbulent waters

To love again

And I am comforted by the knowing

That you will come again

I know not when

But I do at least

Now know

That I can 

Trust the void
