I didn’t expect the waves to rise like this again,
It has been so long since I last held her, 7 years today.
My human brain struggles as I try to recall all I can,
I want to remember every vivid detail of her life.
I can not. It hurts.
But as the pain rises, somehow I feel her again.
Her energy. Her love.
With all the pain comes her.
And I want HER.
A cardinal appeared in my window yesterday evening
Never, have I seen one so close
The bright vibrant red, orange, the beauty of its symbolism
I approached the window, took in the moment
And then it was gone.
