the ordinary day
THE ORDINARY DAY
I never noticed the ordinary day before
The beauty in the breath of morning air,
or the simplicity of a single flower bending in the wind
The magnificent light from the moon shining down on me when it’s full
I want to see it all with you but you aren’t here
Everything my eyes capture I think of you
The way the light glistens on the lake in the late afternoon
Almost blinding me, along with my tears
And how the warm breeze feels on my skin like your soft touch on me
The perfume of the rosemary and thyme that lingers on my hands when I choose it to make a meal, you are right there with me
The beauty in the music I hear, we dance you and I, and every move is graceful and the rhythm is to perfection
Dreams of you consume my night, and day
You are always with me but you’re not
When I’m afraid I think of you to soothe myself
And if I’m bored there you are, again
When I capture a glimpse of you, it takes my breath away
It almost hurts but I like the ache.
It awakens my whole being
It makes me feel alive again and reminds me
How we felt together
How you brought me back to life
After just existing.

That was beautiful Linda and it makes me wonder is she still thinking of me in this way...I'm too damn emotional right now, going to cry...lol...and thanks for sharing this.
Stay well, One love and God bless!
thank you TS
somehow, i feel she IS thinking of you like this. its sad. like an ache in your heart, i know.
Linda
ps. im crying too
{sigh}
That's what makes this so hard. If she is then she's hurting like me and this being apart is pointless. At the same time, if she has moved past me and this quickly even with the Lord's help then I question so many things about life and the Lord...as if my writing hasn't given that impression already...lol
Stay well, One love and God bless!
