Love’s avalanche was the weight of life’s sliding scale as you cried out in anguish to stay love’s cruelty. We witnessed her duality and the loss of losing; those stains never heal and I feel the shattering of yours, and Freedom’s heart as she moves in and out of passion. When a tree falls in the forest each limb is missed, it doesn’t go unnoticed and neither have you.
With each tear a petal descends, I couldn’t hear it but felt it as if I were the forest itself. A departed soul becomes ‘the sacrifice that reinvigorated a land’; we hear you, and we feel that rush of love that will free Freedom and release Change.
Love’s sliding scale is never easy, but we will breathe because you couldn’t.
