Beyond
Beyond
A gentle breeze drifts
Through my melancholy thoughts
Sweeping sweet sorrow
Carrying it beyond time
Beyond moments remembered
And I? I, who once believed I was forever numb, weep those tears that I have long held, hear the whisperings of soft promises, taste the flavor of a new beginning, and breathe slowly of a tomorrow I thought impossible to see, to know, to embrace as my own. I gather these gifts, these unexpected treasures of continuing, and hold them briefly within trembling hands. I then grant them their freedom to continue on their journey for I know that my heart and soul are not alone in their need for healing and solace. Not alone in their need to feel and touch life once more. Not alone to be one with today, yesterday, and tomorrow... not alone to simply be. And the gentle breeze drifts on the wings of every moment remembered...beyond time... beyond faith... beyond sorrow... beyond all I have ever known before.
