Feeling so cold today...

The withered carnations
Break away, from my nimble fingers
Spiraling along with the wind.
I kiss my soul into it,
Breathing in the scent of loss.
And I wave a goodbye,
As the petals rise from the earth,
Carrying with it, moist tears
And silent prayers-

In hope,
That it would find you;
In faith,
That you'd read into it,
And find me.
And know it true,
How so very hard it feels today
Being away.
And realize,
How cold I feel today.

So, I send across to you
My soulful notes-
Just to say
I miss you so.
And amidst this lowly hue
I'm still glad
That I feel this way
Cold, and vulnerable.
For, without you,
I'd never have been this way
Loved, and missed.
(Just the way, you are.)
