For the First Time

For the first time from the creation of eternity we find ourselves  now standing on far different facing shores with no bridge but one designed  to reunite us. Though hidden from my sight I yet feel your presence living within me, abiding in calm restraint, your understanding our moment apart is mere flicker of time, no more than a single grain of sand flowing through the hourglass…. though I now live within this crushing moment of eternity without you. I find peace in the knowledge you rejoice in bright light of glorious morning sun, walking hand in hand with glow of infinite love shining upon your soul even as I suffer under the heavy weighted cloak of darkness so cruelly heaved upon me by such unfathomable distance.  


How am I in this wilderness of loss to find place,,,,to find step… for contained within my search comes most noted this howling absence of light… 


Sometimes we ask why to ears that do not hear.  
Sometimes we ask how from lips which can not speak.   I fear I am now but an island , separated from the whole, isolated within my mind and found with no direction home
