Journal

With a glance, look out
the window, at the
radiance of snow
dance in the cold wind.
Drawing a deep breath,
the tears flow freely,
finding love once more,
is impossible.
I had slammed the door
shut to everyone.
I grieved deeply for
your loss and our love.
After the last few
years enduring loss
and heartache, I find
no peace in slumber.
I lie in bed each
night and imagine
lying in your arms.
Reaching over to
my journal once more,
open and flipping
to the last entry.
I pause to think of
what is in my heart.
I write to remind
me of you, the path
our deep love had forged.
Getting easier
to face each sunrise.

I enjoy sunrise but I must admit I am not an early riser except when we go on holiday and the we leave a 5 in the morning - that is my favorite part of the trip as the sun comes up on the horizon - mesmerizing - hugs and blessings Jennifer. I'm happy for you that it is getting easier but you will never forget and he will always be your guardian angel.

It is right to grieve over a loved ones, but as time passes, prayer will console.
