Missing You…. A Beginning Poem Poem by Karen Touzalin

I cannot begin to start missing you

The way the heart misses a beat,
on occasion
or a dancer misses a step in time,
without rhythm

I cannot begin to start missing you,

like the sea misses the shore and
returns each morning
to ebb and flow

or like the sun misses the moon each night
so she creates a beautiful sunrise,
as a token of their love

I cannot begin to start missing you
like my ears miss the sound of your breathing
when you fall asleep

or my eyes miss the sight of your face
when they are closed.

I cannot begin to start…..
But I miss you.
