To my Jasmine

by ddavidd   Mar 26, 2025


To my little niece

I miss you from the bottom of my heart—
oh, but my heart is bottomless.
So I miss you endlessly,
or perhaps from a place
deeper than endlessness itself.

I miss you until I see you again,
and even then, I miss you more—
because I know
we shall part again.

But missing you is not sorrow;
it is joy's howling longings.

For you are a happy flower,
my white Jasmine,
blooming even in absence.
