Cloud Years Drift By

Absent in a desert searching
For you up one sand mound
Then another and another.
Years sifting imagined scenes,
Visioning a past yet to emerge

From a future – missing present.
Oh the mind insufferable
Sorts through footage
Played out in parlor games,
Polite in a life caught up

On helium inhaled
As cloud-years drift by.
And all I seek –

Not horizon mirages,
But presence with you.
No charades, no shadows,

No false oaths – rather boldness
To declare for all to hear I love you and all else
Who would object — be gone
To their exasperation.
