Artist: Anne Packard

Empty Chair

In his mind, she is smiling and waiting just inside to greet him
He absently struggles with the lock to the front door
Reluctantly, it finally accepts the key and opens

In his mind, she rushes up to welcome him home with a kiss
He catches himself before saying “Honey, I’m home”
He would smile and tell her all about his day

In his mind, the best part of his day is about to begin
The silence inside echoes in waves all around him
He sits heavily in her empty chair by the wall

In his mind, her empty chair lies
She will always be with him
In his mind

Michael

Artist: Anne Packard

Empty Chair

his chair sits empty
evoking sadness today
yet, she feels his touch
