Silence

If I took pink and blue to turn it lilac,

red and yellow to turn it orange,

I could paint the sky in pastel hues,

with warm glows and soft touches

with which to caress the earth.

Yet your touch will still be absent,

your voice still silent,

your eyes,

your hands,

your heart,

gone.

Still, it does not diminish the beauty of the day -

the sun still rises in the east

and settles in the west,

birds still sing,

waves still crash upon the shore.

Only,

your absence has left a deafening silence in my soul.
