She’s looking away
into a far sky
across a canyon of hope
To a place
where she knew
he would remain
even as he stood
by her side
Her dreams
and their dreams
Melting in ice falls
of tears
falling like rain
Knowing the leaving
was coming too soon
and knowing how
love was forever
As rivers flowing
and sails
on its oceans
searching
for passages home
There is no distance
in the heart
she said
and agreed
time’s return was
too soon
Memories wait
forever unfolding
new lands beheld
in the sun
and there
hearts will keep
between sheets of rain
the presence returning
in reflections of light
in his eyes

Peter, this is so poignant. Beautiful writing!
Thank you. A blessing and a curse … we need not stay in either place.
Am glad for the “blessing” part of it.
Love is never ever lost. We carry it….. it carries us 💖
Love’s light felt in the soul shines through our eyes, always ❤
