This has a special meaning for me, the emptiness that is. As I struggle to get through June 8th because of the tragic reminder of what happened that day in 1991, I feel the emptiness and know it never will end. I believe it is okay to stop trying to fill this kind of void. It has become a part of me now, made me who I am, given me compassion and taught me how to forgive. You said a lot to me in those few syllables, but maybe you weren't just talking to me. Maybe you were the one speaking wisely.
What you take from it is what it means. I am honored you found it speaking to you. Yet it is holding that sadness. Thank you for visiting and commenting.
I think Edna St.Vincent Millay said when you are missing someone, they are probably feeling the same. Doesn't take away the longing though, does it? Beautiful haiku and art collage. ♥♥
i can only share that as time moves one forward in life there is a chance for longing to be filled with the original love that emanated from each other. i cannot tell you how or when, i can only say i am forever grateful that i can lay in the darkness of night or wake to a courageous new day filled with a boundless love that remains far beyond a physical presence. i hope the love that i have given is a comfort too to those so far from me.
Your "how" may take a lifetime--or more--to answer.
ReplyDeleteWise you are.
