The Endless Love

Once
in a long-ago moment
I could feel
the sun's warmth every time I heard her voice
it was as if her whispers
carried the day upon her words
taking me to a time where I could dream
the dream anyone in love
wants to dream

I could feel the sun setting
as the stars
eagerly waiting to shine their light upon our entwined souls
rose
one by one until heaven illuminated the dark
you see
with her there was always light

We celebrated
our first anniversary
and then
many more while watching our children grow
then our grandchildren
and through it all
I always felt the sun's warmth

And then suddenly
there was winter's cold
and I was alone, missing her
grieving
asking why
while holding tightly
every memory she gave me
and yet
in my hands was the emptiness of being alone
though every now and then
I can remember
conversations about nothing
that meant everything
and I still wait for each star to rise
hoping that I wish upon the one in which she resides
and wonder
if she can hear me when I say "I love you"

Yes. Heaven is a sea of glass upon which our loved ones may see us and behold the two glories of Life. Peace and healing my man
