Where You Are

R.M. Dolin, December 1, 2023

The air I breathe no longer moves, 
frozen by the very same sky creating
rings around the full moon casting
lost shadows on still falling snow with a clarity
that causes me to remember 
the way your eyes reveal
a faraway light of forever 
while your touch betrays
the ember fire of long-ago passions.

In the silent December darkness, 
every thought I have, 
every sound I make, is stolen 
by the heavy snow quickly covering
any trace of who I have become,
causing me to wonder where you are.
