There is a misconception that the deepest sadness we will feel in life
Is having to part ways and say goodbye
The loss of a knowing fill, the comfort of another and their warmth in our space
It is a fallacy and the matter at hand is larger you will see, possibly the very thing that will set you free
There comes a time when we see and feel, the most difficult reality to honor and embrace
Well beyond the drain and loss of any goodbye
Is the slow death of watching your spirit diminish and die
Life’s biggest challenge in what feels like human natures longest lesson
We feed our sadness in wish and hope and struggling to let go
But the only thing that matters in our wake and flow…..
It is only ourselves that we must trust and know

Alisa, this line pulsates. “Is the slow death of watching your spirit diminish and die.” When hope dies, what do we have? Keith

Thanks, Keith. I agree, I don’t think there is much left when it does.

Flickering? A sparrow heart, smashed against the glass is stunned. But only for a while. Until the warm breeze currents lift her again. Wary of her own windowed reflection in the future perhaps, but hopeful.
