Traces

Traces
Perfume on pillowcases
Indelible marks on hearts
Traces linger everywhere
Reminding us we're not alone

The faintest of scents
Fleetest of thoughts
Chase through our senses
Describing dreams without words

Breathe
Aromatic sensations
Wait for us here
Where we lay and imagine

Traces
Barely perceived
Yet powerfully present
Traces purposely remain
Healing wounds ignored or forgotten
