His Lily of Love

His hand slipped inside hers and suddenly it was
as if the world learned how to breathe again
Perhaps it was the cadence of the blessed moon
sweeping away all the harsh lights of yesterday
Perhaps it was the way his eyes slanted sideways
as if to say, "there you are"
Anointing her wounds with Spikenard moments
of Grace, the room lit up like a roman candle
burning bright and fervent;
His Sacred Heart revered her shattered soul
and she turned into His Lily of love,
weaved by gold threads that were spun from Angels above.
There, bathed in the Holiest of Silence she became whole again
Walking towards Him unafraid, barefoot and wholesome,
as the day she was conceived.

Yes I recall your dear wife being named Lilian, she was your Lily in life, and in death she watches over you, love never dies Victor, always giving us wings even after the veils are parted.

A poem that brought a sigh to my heart. Your explanation of a moment of love was breathtaking, Rose. I could feel the release of all barriers as you allowed yourself to be immersed in Love; and allowed Love to flow back to Him as a wave returns to the ocean, smoothly. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
