I See You – Roger G. Singer

Two women sitting at a bar – Pablo Picasso

I dream of lights,
and soft voices
drifting to corners
where shadows gather

there I see you,
sitting,
waiting for me,
a flower to be
watered
as a brush of
cool breezes
like that of a piano
become the notes
encouraging me
to this place,
where I am
meant to be
