for many, you are never known
and then only once
to lose you,
never seeing a sunset without words again

I have no hope
of ever describing the joy
your eyes and smile
as they look up to me
calling yourself wife
put into my heart and life

I know I have never known it before
so it could never be again
all the times you
say you were unmoved
I was shaken

in its place gave something
far more of all senses
I could see everything deeper
some strands of you hung everywhere

unable to find my way
I shift aside this beautiful
and mysterious web
this empty forest of things
blindly stumbling
pushing away hanging strands
finding far more than nothing
where you were once everywhere

my only hope
is what you gave effortlessly
and without knowing
before you doubted
that you could
