Stray Love Poem Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

I think it was just before the first weekend in September
Hurricane Hannah was moving up the coast
and we joked
and that's about the time I met Ana

And since that time
so many months ago
the soft feeling hasn't left
it has only grown, steady and slow

The most constant longing feeling
I have ever known
but tonight I feel so alone
upon me her sweet breeze has blown

I miss her voice
upon the phone
seeds of care
we have sown

silence breaks a spirt
and makes me feel unknown
thinking my dreams were unshared
and overblown

But still I miss her truly
and tonight wish I was with her
in her arms
someplace that felt like a home

A seed of love
cast in the wind by Hannah
brought me a beautiful vision of love
Though now inside I feel so alone
