Helpless Hopeful

I think of you
I miss you
I ache on your behalf
Lacking actions or words that can heal you
I am at a loss
Far away with helpless, taskless hands waving uselessly in the air at the end of shrugging shoulders
Wishing we could sing or dance or walk together to take your mind
Away from the pain
Away from the past
Toward the the new chapter in your life
Where I, too, need a new place
Or maybe an old one
Where I need to find my way
My role
In a landscape of your creation
Your control
Your choices
   and mine.
