Daily wedding
“Rise and shine, my love” he says
“Stretch your arms towards angels
They shall wash you
and dress you up
Like a bride.
A thin haze covering the land –
This world of sorrow.
Lift your chin and turn your face to the sky.
Open your eyes and see.
The gifts of today all around.
Say no word, say no word.”
“No gift but your arrival” I think.
And then I become utterly silent.
“Smile, my love, I know your thoughts
Your heart’s song is my prayer
From stars we decended
To stars we return
Once the blink of time ended.
Until then, we sit for a coffee
Talking, laughing, crying
Over things we love but can’t touch
Tormenting our hearts.
Let us not forget why we came,
Let us embrace this illusion.”
I cry next to his words
My heart …
