Seeing

by Peggy Carter

from beyond this world I see
you seeing
me

you gaze from behind glossy shades
I see my reflection as I
stand before you
holding my camera
snapping your photo

but you have walked beyond
where I still exist

my heart holds the photo close
you walk in my dreams
the dividing line between this world
and the next
blurs
and you are here with me
once again

forever
