*I am lost in the haze of memories of us as one
My eyes gaze the horizon as the sky and sea kiss
I haven't gotten how we smiled with the sun
and cried with the rain
How our secrets of the heart were held by dandelions
and each seed took to the sky, so free.
I have yet to truly resign myself to the thought of you being gone
For every embrace was and still is sacred to me
The sunset bathes in the sea, leaving orange ripples
How I wish I could've used the light to banish your darkness
To take the shade into a stone and skip it on the seas
And we can embrace the songs of nature as we laugh
and ride away, our turbulence forgotten
I envision the facets of faces of people I knew and know
Watching me as they bob on boats
But the wind brushes away the mirage and I am before the horizon
once more
As I hope that wherever you are,
That you see the same sun, same stars and skies
that I do
from this parapet*

For the past few days, I have been placing myself on one of the highest hills, and just reflecting on life and the choices made. I don't want to hurt anyone, yet I know that I am capable of it, intentionally or not. Truly one of the most poignant things of being human.
My heart has been bleeding so much the past few weeks...
I deeply wish I had the power to heal, I really do...
I hope I can make peace with every storm in me as I keep moving forward regardless.
Be back soon with more!
Much love,
