You crept out bit by bit Sneaking away earlier and earlier Reminding us of life without you We are left standing listening to the sound of our own beating hearts Dwelling in silent stillness Our breathe taken away by whispers of sucking solitude You demand our gratitude in your absence compelling us to remember your importance as we slosh through our days Testing our confidence that you will return Promising not to leave us endlessly in shadow You bid us to appreciate this moment of vast darkness Drawing up awareness that rests deep in our bellies You nudge us to kneel and offer gratitude Seeing what is visible only to eyes adjusted in darkness Insisting on an attentiveness that peels open the layers uncovering the hidden truth Soon you will creep in Bit by bit inching your way back earlier and earlier But for now we sit with you without you In darkness
