Another day is about to pass. With wide eyes, I see into the remains of the day. The red ink, in the blue milk skies, illuminating the world before dusk. I love you as the night loves shadow. I love the essence of all you are. Each time I see your handcrafted goblets, a smile invades my lips.
When I’m alone like this, you’re always in my heart. The sun massages my face from the suns rays streaming through the open window. The wind ruffles my hair. I can feel your exhaustion against yielding grain like my thoughts of you.

At times, we all have to go to a place of peace with our grief. Memories are there for us to remember fondly those we love.

Thank you, Ted, for loving that line. After I wrote the line, I sat an contemplated on the words.
Shadows are always associated with creepy or supernatural. I wanted the words to be more like
a blanket wrapping arpound the person. Thrilled you enjoyed my writing.

Thank you, Neil. I was going to write a poem and then change to a short vignette.
I belive that line and few other kept their poetic rhyme. I appreciate your constructive words.
