I stood where I needed to stand I said what I needed to say you deserved that and so much more I knew that then I know that now the thing I did not comprehend in that moment was the rest of the plan the whole of the story the way a soul can live on and you will live always I can move forward realizing what a gift you were and always will be to me knowing I can let go and still keep this truth I know this light I see you are the reason that I believe in life and love eternal ~ free eternity carries you safe and warm the way I held you in my arms I know this now beyond shadows and doubt you are finally free and living the end of the story became the beginning the losing transformed into the winning the questions I asked became the answers themselves and the promises made became stories to tell I did not know why or understand how but the life you brought is the life you live now you are the understanding that I have inside the recognition of endless sight the day that exists within the night and it is one it is not done I understand now just how a spirit lives on. -- Charity

Was that the sun
sneaking through the kitchen window casting it's yellow smile on the wall was that the wind teasing like hands through my hair with the faint smell of fall was that the morning that crept through my bedroom window announcing that another day has come was that the evening the darkening sky filled with stars as bright as a glistening look in your eye was that the world continuing to spin and the moon and the sun in the sky as they have always been was that life living still and time preceding onward without stopping could it be that days carry on and seasons change throughout the year and night turns into dawn even without you here and I would not have thought that the universe would continue or even I as small as I may be in the whole realm of all could wake and leave my dreams and step from one day to the next without you here with me was that the sun shining through my kitchen window casting it's yellow smile on my face was that smell of fall and the change of seasons continuing in this place... is it right that life should move forward and that I should go on too when I miss you more than ever before and my heart will not stop aching at the thought of autumn without you. Charity 2005 She moves
in seasons I have not seen arrayed in colors not imagined she is beyond thought or reason yet she stays she stays with me she moves outside of light and dark she lives beyond grasp of fear and self doubt she does whatever she imagines she can do and I think of her and wonder what will happen above or under those exquisite eyes that hold me forever in their spell so wickedly clever she moves outside of time and reason she lives in some rare unknown season she graces me occasionally with her presence and for those moments I am happy to be in other worldly places with this lady of change.
