I cling to you



I cling to you
like sunlight in the startled trees;
with shadows cast
when you’re not there.
I cling to you
like incoming tide weeping into the sand
leaving tears with receding waves.

I cling to you
like the last breeze of summer
leaving abandoned stalks
of harvest
in its wake.

I cling to you
with the whisper of unsaid words;
the semblance of smile
when laughter
has dried.

I cling to you
with more than capturing arms,
more than an embrace,
more than the entwining
of evening.
