Poem - a wide pleasant garden

in my dream i try to apologize
but other people keep getting in the way
they interrupt me when i try to speak
distract you with what they want
endlessly demanding

in the dream we are in a nice place
a wide pleasant garden where the sun shines
see there is plenty of room to move about
i let go and soon you & your retinue are gone
the view remains

Losing a love is hard, isn't it? It changes everything about the life that we knew. Even when the loss may turn out okay in the long run, it's a difficult stream to ford in its immediacy.

What I saw as loss is already being demonstrated to me as an AMAZING series of opportunities and changes that have been so positive and enlightening, I'm so thankful for my path and all those perceived stumbles. It truly is amazing. Everything is just the same, and now resplendently different.

And it still hurts, but wow. Wow!
