  I THOUGHT OF YOU
  
  I thought of you
  when the sun rose
  and broke the night sky
  into peach and pink and periwinkle...
  and I felt the lonely emptiness
  of you not at my side.

  I thought of you
  and felt my soul reach
  over the miles and through the barriers
  in a quietly painful attempt
  to find the consolation
  of your presence.
  
  I thought of you
  and felt the longing
  for that sense of completeness
  and absolute acceptance
  that I always have
  when we are together.
  
  I thought of you
  and I asked the stars
  to watch over your steps
  and carry your dreams
  and for the wind to caress you
  since I could not.

  I thought of you
  but I was here
  and you were there
  and reach as my soul might
  my feet stayed planted
  and my heart ached instead.
