National Poetry Month: Wishing you Were Here

Those kisses you sent, I found them wandering 
Around the house.  They were acting a little
Lost, not knowing exactly where I was.

I was busy upstairs.  But now we are all having
Tea, and talking about you, and wishing you
Were here.

And they imparted all you intended.  They did
Well.

One more thing: I have seen you at your best
And at your worst; still, you are always welcome 
Near me.

~Hafiz. trans. Daniel Ladinsky
