shory story

You whispered to me,

through the silence of the wind,

through the quiet of the stars,

in the silence of the trees…

You whispered to me, in my ears, to my soul, from your heart, to my whole being.

You made me whole, with your presence.

You danced with me, on the sands of the beach, as the waves tried to catch my feet,

while my eyes slept, at night, and the moonlight healed my soul…

You danced with me among the trees, in the forest, while I searched for you…

So much time has passed since you left this world.

So many feelings I have had, so many fears I have learned to hold onto.

Now I’m learning to let go.

Yet, even with you gone, I can hear your voice, and it makes me want to hold onto you.

I can feel your touch, when a flower grazes over my skin.

Your songs are now sung by the birds, with the sunrise, each morning.

Not a day goes by that you are not here, with me.

For so long, I have dreamed of your whispering voice, telling me it is all going to be okay.

You remind me that you are here, I am safe, it is okay.

A windy day lets me know you are near.

A rainy day is the skies releasing all of your tears.

Time had felt so slow, but now I know it goes by at the pace of your heart beat.

You are the nature that surrounds me.

You are the breath that moves the winds.

I feel you more now than ever before, as you surround me.

You will always live within me, and now all around me.

You are within every living thing.

There is no death, there is only life that continues on, to an existence continued beyond.

You are each new blossom, full of fresh nectar.

You are each sky reaching tree, that moves, dancing in your winds.

You are each sunrise and sunset, with magical light that heals the soul.

You whisper to me through nature, in all the ways you possibly can, reminding me that everything will be okay.

Let’s dance, while I dream, in the moonlight, until the morning comes, when the birds sing your songs, and as the light of the sunrise welcomes another beautiful day full of so much beautiful life, life here and beyond.

Touch me as I walk through fields of grass and wildflowers that remind my skin how to feel.

Hold me on the mountain tops as I take it all in, and let go of all the fears.

Wash me with your tears, as they fall from the cloudy skies.

Remind me how to live, as I discover new life, each and every day that I am here.

For however long, I will exist here, with you surrounding me.

Whisper to me…

-M.
