Can You Hear Me?

July 6, 2026

Can you hear me?

Can you see me
feel me
touch me?

I want you near
I want you
close.

Then I’ll know
the sky won’t fall
the rivers rush
and
birds will call
songs of love
all summer long
into
fall.

I need you
here
I need your breath
breathing softly
close
to
my heart
my
chest.

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?
