heart-strong.

the space you filled in my life was like
the break of sunrise that
pushes back the curtain
of velvet sky to
showcase her own
brilliant glory.

and I am left
smiling
shining
illuminating
inspiring
brilliant.

but it seemed not able
to last into the day;
by noon
the colors faded into traffic jams and
project deadlines and
burned coffee.

and I am left wondering
withering
analyzing
apologizing for
things i haven’t done, for
things I don’t understand.

so the sun has set on our brief encounter
as swift as the light kisses the horizon
and melts with passion
and is gone
so is the space that once was called “we”
faded
melted
gone.

and I am left staring
into the night sky
watching stars and satellites
marching across my universal window
the great beyond
pushing me into place
pulling me to stand taller

the evening silence
dancing in my hair
the silhouetted trees
whispering their secrets
and i am found heart-full
heart-still
heart-strong
wondering how i ever wanted
ever needed
ever found a space for
any more glory
than this.
