I've Been Thinking About You

I've been thinking about you.  The past, present, and future are meaningless words to thoughts that have no beginning or end.  I've watched as the vibration of your spirit peaked and lulled from the adventure to adventure.  I've cheered as you've slayed demons that came rushing for your precious soul.  I've cried as you've fallen to the earth from battles that left you inches from death. Through it all you have been a fierce warrior, yet with the gentle eyes of a baby doe.  And as I sit and observe you now, I can't help but feel the effect you've had on me.  The overwhelming pull of emotions bursting from inside my heart.  The involuntary swelling of tears rising from behind my eyes.  And the sum of it all affirming the soul connection we have with each other. 

But tragically a chasm has been opened up between us.  A crack in the fertile ground we planted our flowers in.  A weary season where the skies turned dark from the clouds gathering like an angry mob.  The winds whispering to the barren trees tales of deceit and betrayal.  And days pass by silently waiting for life to spring up from the earth again.  But is does not.  All of our tears have now frozen over into a reflective pond of regret.  Days turn into weeks.  And weeks into months.  And still nothing.  It as if hope has forgotten this place where she once was so proud to call home.  But I have not forgotten.  I still remember how the fragrant flowers bloomed.  I still remember how the warm sun kissed our skin.  And how the stars in the night sky would spell out hidden messages of our love.  I still remember.  

And this is why I've been thinking about you. I come back to this place from time to time. I tend to the frozen flowers. I test the hardened soil. I check for the thawing of ice. Looking for hidden signs among the stars. Watching for hope to find her way back. And waiting for Spring to reappear.
