Darkness falls outside my windows.
The daylight travels from one side of my house
To the other,
And fades to azure twilight
And then,
To indigo night.

Alone all day,
With my thoughts
Cleaning,
Cooking,
Folding Laundry.
Music playing,
Floors gleaming

Thoughts……
Idle stream of consciousness
A glimpse of the point,
Islands in the distance.
A glimpse of the chapel,
Waves lapping the shore.

Words spoken, confusion
Love……filling the space
To find the way through it.
To find a way for hope to grow
A way to go on.

Love, that only asked for your happiness
Was all there was.
There was no cost to give it.
There was no price exacted.

But one was paid anyway.
It cost a friendship.
Love only went one way
That day.
And every day.

And once again,
It was thrown out
Like yesterday’s trash.

There is no pain
You are receding.
There is no loss,
I never had anything to lose.

But you…..
Maybe you did.
Maybe you do.

My thoughts, idle
Move away
To somewhere distant.
You may look for me some day,
Trying to understand
This chaos that you created.
But I’ll be gone,
You won’t see me.
You won’t find me.
I’ll be gone.

Peace.
