Without You...

For Billy

Without You...

Without you
I'll miss...
your voice
deep
a resonant gift
awakening desire
in me.

Without you
I'll miss...
Montana
wild
the life you love
building the cabin
for us.

Without you
I'll have...
endless nights
cold
an empty silence
breaking the spirit
in me.

Without you
I'll have...
shattered memories
sharp
the hunters blade
dripping with tears
for us.

Without you
I'll miss...
your voice
hard
eternal judgement
loud disapproval
in me.

Without you
I'll miss...
shattered memories
gone
a forgotten dream
from another time
for us.

Without you
I'll have...
endless nights
warm
the laughter of friends
lifting the spirit
in me

Without you
I'll have...
Oregon
calm
the life I love
forgiveness and peace
for us.
