Description
Aaron JonesI Miss You
Sometimes the past returns
like a firefly out of time,
a brief and burning glow in blackest night
that whistles latent cries,
the wounded, flickering eye of a beast
whose soul once raged
against the dying of the light.
And I've met love, as well,
a dragonfly of honest green,
a straight and zealous glimpse against the sky
and field of river streams,
emboldened, striking affectionately
at hopes and dreams
that stand, and never live to die.
Parting was never sweet sorrow—
never an unfiltered hardship was
as cleaving that which should be intertwined.
But sweeter pain I never saw
with blinded sight. It chanced against my ear,
at once I knew your spirit whispering near
through some unknown design…
Have you heard how love and history sing
on the flutter of a monarch's wing?
