Love 
  

I whispered in your ear this morning - "where have you been?" 
I searched for you when the air hung heavy with pungent honeysuckle and  
the children's muffled laughter rode the waves of air like smoke-where  
were you? 
I rode your heels thru the maze of life and touched you briefly once or  
twice 
I know you felt my breath upon your cheek at the sight of your little  
one-where did you go? 
You recognized my face when you were with him only for a night 
A shout--a flicker--then I was gone 
At least now you know I am
