She Is There

In nightmare waking
    She is there ... with soothing voice
In sarcastic joke-making
    She is there ... laughs fill the void
Years of emptiness are a distant memory
Wonder, worry, weariness give way to peace
I turn, I look, I breathe — then sigh in relief
She is there, a smile, a tear, love and release
She is there



Written in the parking lot of the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, while waiting for the next softball game to start.

I have at least one other poem of the same name, including a very similar one written in 2005.
