Crossroads

Back to pen and paper after a brief hiatus. This piece is not a lament. On the contrary, it is a celebration of the everyday… A glance back to love that has passed, and a hope forward for love yet to come. A few moments at the crossroads, before the beginning of a new journey 🙂

In words that bring a smile,

In glances that speak volumes,

In hugs that rejoice in just the act,

In play that sets up sparks

In touches that convey it all

In silences that comfort

In laughs that ring louder

In tears that dry slower

Sweet nothings and walks

Held hands and talks

Some unsaid, some undone

Some untouched, some unsung

In friendship pure and strong

In feelings deep and warm

In promises made to heart

In sacrifices kept in dark

In moments etched forever

In memories cherished and safe

I walk with you my friend,

Down paths of heaven or hell

An ode to this beautiful mystery

In which rests our own little world

To love, selfless and a storm

To love, sweet and bare

To love, gentle and bold

For life once lived, I fold.
