The Quickener

Sitting still in my room I see her pass

The faintest wandering

The slightest flight

She quickens by within my sight

Wandering?

Waiting?

Lost?

Am I seen by her whose glimpse I catch?

The softest touch

The lightest scent

Lingers as she makes ascent

Searching?

Seeking?

Lost.

Do you write all your own poems? They are beautiful. This one reminds me of my Mom. Lost her 7 years ago.
