The Unfinished Chapter - 81

Chapter 81

Between the first waking moment and the next
Just when fairies sprinkle stardust and angels play a tune of love and joy
Just after the moment night turns to day
Just before the moment a new dawn is born
That's where our journey began
That's where continued, that's where it is
And then as the world rests in God's love and peace
That moment, that one fleeting moment is all life is about when lived with and in love
And then, the beautiful sky is lit with the warmth of the sun, the beauty of the moon, the stillness of twinkling stars, the calming clouds, and the allurement of two shooting stars in sweet embrace.

That's where I shall meet you then
A place with no name
A land where time stood still, yet everything was in motion
Somewhere where our hearts and souls find their freedom
Far from the entrapment of empty promises, beautiful lies
Far from the fear of loving
Far from the ambiguity of nothingness
Yes, that's where I shall meet you
That's where I am dancing my dance to a tune only a heart in love can hear
You looked in my direction, then looked away

But I shan't sing this tune to you
No, you have to listen for it, to it
And, when you stop, empty yourself of fear, judgments, assumptions
You will hear it, only just
It's a beautiful tune, ever so gentle
It's played on a harp called trust
To notes called love
It doesn't know a you, it doesn't know a me
It knows, sees, feels, believes in us
Love, beautiful love is always an us

I shall continue my dance of love, with love
And I believe you will come one day, that's how much I trust love
Till then though, I shall dance, dance till my feet bleed
This is a dance I am dancing for us
And, till you find your way to me and complete us
I shall dance and sing to any tune love wants me to
One day, you will listen to the tune too
You will find yourself dancing to me, and then, with me
And when you come close and hug me in sweet embrace
You will hear your name with every beat of my heart, with every gentle breath I take

And then you will know, that it was my heart calling out to you all along
All along in an effort to be whole again, to be complete with you, in you, with love, in love

The Unfinished Chapter - 95

Chapter 95

The quiet of midnight rolled on nigh
A solitary star twinkled in the night sky
Her delicate wings found a flicker of life
She was weary
She twirled a slim finger around a strand of smooth, silky hair
Cotton like clouds danced to a tune so strange, so unknown
She looked at the face of the full moon
A moon promising so many dreams
Fulfilling them for some, shattering them for others
She watched, insentient, benumbed
A muffled sob defeated her throat, and made its way out
The murkiness of the night sky emphasised the quiet summer moon
Ah, moon, ever so lonely as that lone star disappeared
Beautiful crescent, hearkening ever so silently
It was bearing witness to dreams being made, dreams being broken
It shone, on the fragments that once were someone's dream
A dream that now lay pulverised, dissipated
Indeed, that moon shone, on all that was, all that is still to be
She closed her eyes
A slow, reticent tear crawled nonchalantly down her smooth, porcelain cheek
She felt it wet her bosom, its final resting place
As she mourned the dreams that evaded her still
