Picture Of You Poem by Tess Tessier

Today I saw a picture of you.

I was taken back to a time of innocence. Happiness overcame my being like a child playing in the rain splashing and jumping in puddles overjoyed with laughter.

Today I saw a picture of you.

I was overjoyed with your big bright eyes yet my soul was paralyzed grasping to breathe in your essence.

Today I saw a picture of you.

Your smile sent a wave of warmth hitting me like the ocean wave causing me to lose my balance.

Today I saw a picture of you.

Every ounce of my being wanted to embrace you like flowers embraces the Sun.

Today I saw a picture of you

I know it's going to be a good day....
