I'm Missing You

How do I feel right now?

It's not loneliness

nor sadness

More at emptiness

like something isn't there

anymore

Life is going forward

all around me and in me

I hear the voices of people

I see their smiles

I sit with them

I eat with them

Yet, I'm Missing You

I miss your voice

your unique voice

the sound of your precious words

their emphasis and pauses

when you speak to me

or

when I hear you speak to another

The sound of your laughter and joy

rich and full

are like an old movie

that stirs up fond memories

of years gone by

triggered when that one scene flashes

Like the two friends talking

in Central Park by the pond

or the victorious warrior

raising his sword high

or the father who just now

realizes how much

he loves his wife and children God gave him

he smiles and laugh with great joy

I look forward once again

to sit at your table (John 21:12,13)

to sit across from you

and talk

like we use to

face to face

then was my joy full

We ate together( Matt. 26:29,30)

and enjoyed a good meal

and drank the best wine

and Wisdom played her music

in the background (Rev. 3:20, 21,22)

Yeah, I'm missing you;

can't wait to get back home

Shalam,

Zarach
