When I Reached Out Into the Early Light, There Was Only…….

When I reached out into the early light,

Smelled the beautiful story of our night.

There was only a bare white sheet,

With no words left for me to read.

Her place was still warm to my touch,

But it was only the new sun that shone.

She was gone. Gone, gone, gone.
