Light Remains

Slowly...over space and time, 

   the details of the darkness begin to fade,

   and the trauma ebbs a bit further
   into the archives of the heart.

Yet the Light remains...

Strong, subtle, soft, silent --
Growing and expanding into infinity,
Waxing in completion --
Through the stories we tell
   of heroism, connection
   and feats of love.
Fully alive --
   in the candles we light,
   and in the sparks of inspiration
   that we act upon
   and make manifest while still  in this "earth" realm...

                                                                        

Sparks of light 

   existing only

 Because once upon a time 

   in a sacred space,

   we walked upon Earth together

   and now are forever 

   embedded

   with the Light

   that we witnessed.
