Loving you always. . .

 

And if this was the world’s last night
I should not fear to be undone.
Love is the songline of the soul,
A cascading radiance, linked like synapses in the brain,
Rippling in one scintillant universal thought.

For this is grief’s impossible truth, the paradox
Lived in deepest loss.

Love is eternal.
