(Featured in my short film, “Love’s Invitation“, winner of Best Screenplay)
As I held your hand,
I felt the last breath leave your lips,
Taking my tenderness with it.
Buried under emptiness,
I only prayed for the sun
To lovingly scorch my body,
So that I might be swept away,
Reborn as beautiful as I always saw you.
Every place I escaped to
Carried the echoes of your heart,
Deafening my soul
So that I might hear for the first time.
Suddenly,
I found myself
Scattered in free-fall,
Pulled through the Kosmos
And I saw you.
I saw you,
Everywhere,
In everyone.
And in that moment
I remembered that you were me,
And all that remained
Was Love.
