you live in my privacy

National Catholic Reporter, Oct 13, 2000 by Dolores Shanahan

   daffodils bow grazing the ground
   covering your body
   as I kneel beside you
   longing to breathe in your arms

   I hear doves murmuring
   emptiness tolls of your leaving tolls of my tarrying
   waiting for you to call my name

   tears break through my silent dam
   mist walls our stone-stilled moment
