~ a vignette ~

Hues of pink and purple, yellow and orange rise above the horizon, displacing the darkness of night. The twinkling lights fade into the brightness. Everything we were, everything we had, like that shining sun. Even on rainy days we danced.

Life may have taken us to unexpected places, but love always brought us home. That’s my comfort these days. When my heart aches so deeply I can’t catch my breath. When my love for you is about to explode outside of my chest. I remind myself to sit in your love and let all else go.

Love holds me, peace comforts me, joy lifts me. My spirit knows this is true, even if my soul is again broken to pieces by memories never realized. I wish I could feel the physicality of your embrace. To have held you longer that last time. If I had only known. I never would have let you go.

I guess that’s why we can’t know these things. Nothing would ever get accomplished. We’d never leave that moment. Though nothing lingers forever in a perishing world, love transcends eternal.

I sit here thinking of you as the evening clouds drift across the sky. The sun falling as darkness takes its place. I suppose it’s time to head home where I can rest in that heavenly space. I hear you whisper as the breeze blows by, “good night my love, always with you.”

Love brings me home.

I wrote the above vignette a few months ago. And as I was getting it ready to post, this song “Shattered” by Blanca played in the background. Timing is no coincidence. Beautiful lyrics I know to be true from experience. May her words bring you comfort and peace …

“THANK YOU for the book… for the vulnerability of it. I think my favorite poem is ‘For All Who Are Lost.’ This is a re-reader for me.”
