in a softened moment

under a veil of grey

snowflakes tumble

tipping my world

each flake, a scattered memory

a reach across time

you, always choosing december

to withdraw and return, to withhold and offer up

the spoils and riches of a life

yet within this silent moment

envisioning you near

choosing to believe

in everlasting love

 

my footsteps circle, pause

eyes cast toward the heavens

palms lifted to receive

your gift

 

between worlds we stand

witnesses

to never-ending love

 

❤
