and sorrow.
And yet,
summer came so suddenly.
I listened to the song for Athene
on my ipod all day
because it seemed to fit my mood.
Last night~
when I got in from work
I took my book and my coffee cup out to
the garden
and just sat.
I listened to the wind in the trees
and to the music
and the words that danced
through my head.
I tried not to think about the real
world where people die
and tears spill endlessly down
the cheeks of those who have lost.
The shadows of the years,
rested quietly on my skin.
I thought deeply
about my mum,
my dad,
the twin brothers I had
( but who died at birth.)
Birth, death.
Life in between.
The moments
of
our
days.
Knowing, when it's time,
to go home.
I love what you wrote about listening 'to the wind in the trees
ReplyDeleteand the music
and the words that danced
through my head'.
Oh, you reminded me of me when you wrote this, because I do exactly that. I love this time of the year because I can sit outside in the garden with a good book and my ipod, but very often I'm distracted from both by the wind, trees, birds, and my very own thoughts. We are so alike :)
I've always believed that this life isn't the end, but far from it. I believe that when our time comes we will be united with the ones we've lost, in a beautiful place where there is no pain, death or sorrow.
