Solstice Song
In the cold church hall
The singer tunes his guitar
And in the empty chair beside me
Your ghost sits down
Wearing the same blue shirt
And khaki pants you wore
That hot summer night
Six years and seven months ago
On our wedding anniversary
When we came to hear this same singer
Tune his guitar and sing of
The holy in everything
Your ghost hand takes my hand
Your ghost fingers wrap around mine
And with your other hand
If you wished
You could touch the tear on my cheek
As the singer sings of the dark and the loss
And the light in everything
The guitar thrums
The air hums with music
And your ghost breathes my name
Kristin I actually saw Bill there with you! How beautiful this is. To have had a love like that in your life…truly the greatest gift of all. Hugs…Carole
