Real? - February 11, 2001

Real- 
how do I create form
from mere shadows?
how do I describe laughter
heard once
but felt a million times?

Real -
the moments I draw on
to remember forever
are the times
of your laughter
and happiness.

Real -
is the shade of green
that tinges your eyes;
the shine that I see
in glowing orbs -
even as the camera captures
that moment and nothing more.

Real -
what separates the phantom touch
from reality -
even now,
my thoughts travel a million miles
to be with you.
