I Walked A Place...

I walked a place, 

flowers all around, 

and stones carved 

with loving words. 

 A million hearts

 now one with the world. 

 Hair flies 

so harshly 

against my face. 

 I look inside,

 a flood of flowers

 all around,

 and loving words and creations.

 The flowers were 

your favorite 

and then some. 

My inner child comes through 

and I am stunned... 

stunned at how beautiful

 this seemingly depressing place was. 

And what used to be... 

was sleeping sound, 

and none dare harm 

that precious treasure. 

And what is now... 

is joyous, alive, and new, 

and ever-present 

in all of us. 

I give you these flowers, 

because I know you love them. 

What grace floods from our hearts. 

A sweet vanilla fills the air. 

 And I hear you, 

whisper lovingly, 

"Thank you.  

I love you more."
