The Girl Across the Street

[Red Pill Poet]

Touching ... thanks for sharing.

I instantly assumed "artichoke". Not in a million years would I have guessed "hot chocolate" ... but working backwards you can hear it, however vaguely.

[Gwyneth]

Often we are found in our grief and comforted
   

calmed by some kindness
   

brought alive again by beauty
   

that catches us undefended.

Even when the sun is most thin and far


even at the hour the storm is at its height


we can go through
   

renewal nests within sorrow
   

love abides, even beyond anger, beyond death.

We are held in an embrace invisible but infinite


moving with all creation


between wholeness and fragmentation


moving always toward the one.

Small joys and great sorrows pass


and we, with steps uncertain, move on


to whatever is next

but continually seen, heard, held


by Life infinite and remote, intimate and abiding.

Love, do not let us go.
