2/2

...to become my own light, again.

It's still a work in progress, but I'm beginning to find home in me - not in a sense of returning, but rather in a sense of becoming.

A Grief Observed

I've held on to my grief, as if it was a life to cling to. What I didn't realise was this:
It held me captive in the shadows between the past, and the presence.

It hurt like hell to release it. As if what once has been now really was gone. But love sets free. And if it is true, it will return to you.

For me it did. Where once was a hole in my heart, now resides light.

In those days, when we could still talk, you taught me that it is not our responsibility to fulfil anybody else's expectations, but that we are souls in distinction, having only to fit into our own shoes.

Our roads split, when hatred started to devour the person I knew. You fought so hard to lose yourself. I guess you won.

But I wanted you to know, that I still remember.

I love you.

Travel gently, now.

The Survivor

There was a time when I thought other people's opinions were knowledge.
Wisdom even.
Inside the noise, an entrance begged.
A spark.
It was the wisdom of my heart, where, in all sincerity, my true guidance resides.
And I survived.

An ordinary incident. Probably, most people wouldn't even pay any attention to it.
But I'm not like most people. Not since, in the nightmares, they finally sucked me dry, and made me one of them.
Worried I might have no reflection, I stare into the looking-glass until the world is topsy-turvy. At least, our altar doesn't twist in red.
I breathe, until everything falls back into place, again. Understanding each other is key. But how shall that work, if I don't even understand myself?
You better don't tether yourself to me.

BEFORE THE WAR

The rich fragrance of Summer’s history rustles through yellowed pages descended from treetops gilded by Autumn's light between sunrise, and sunset.

At night, mist ascends to paint those peaceful mornings which announce the Snow Queen's imminent reign.

"But not yet", the chthonic veils whisper.

On the pasture afore the kitchen window, ears of deer flick, then the morning graze is being resumed. I barely can take my gaze off the mesmerising view to pursue my own breakfast.

There never was a 'before the war'.
But there were those moments when war didn't matter.
