one day

•
i stand here with empty hands,
never warm
and
always alone.
•
they used to hold two little ones,
now grown up
and
on their own.
•
i stand here with an open heart,
never wanted
and
always alone.
•
wondering why
it has never been enough.
instead,
time and tears
have turned it stone.
•
i stand here with a crowded mind,
never quiet
but
a resounding, incongruous drone.
•
oh
how i wish for the day
when silence prevails,
i am at peace
and
no more –
•
alone

This terrifies me but it is most perfectly put. x

Thank you. I was telling someone the other day that when I was asked to approve a DNR order – do not resuscitate order for my mom when she was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, I asked my mother what I should. I had her power of attorney, being an only child and my father was too drunk out of his mind to make any decision. She quite simply looked at me and said she just wants peace. “I want to be in peace”. That has stuck with me ever since I heard her say it. I want it too.

What a difficult conversation though I can understand the desire for peace.

I often feel this way as well. Singular in a world of pairs, but I know and trust that my Eternal Flame is there, amidst the masses, and Time is just waiting until we are both in the perfect place.
Blessings my friend, of assurance and peace ~
