I'm Sad Today

I'm sad today
since you've gone away
near as you are
ever
in my heart,

yet
far enough to be
missing you
your tenderness
your kindness and honesty,
my joy and laughter,
my wanting you

never lovers,
never apart,
my Cariad,
I shall go on loving you.

Dear Anna,

Oh Cariad we who hear your sadness speak and all aspire to be the cause that we might possess some balm to heal with nothing more than blessed aspiration. Brian
