Where do you find yourself when your world screams,
though all around you, 
a deafening silence echoes a haunting refrain?
Even the darkest night, with sparkling starry stories, follows another day in seeming ignorance,  
and the circle of life keeps spinning, heeding not your pain.
I remember (without the debilitating weariness, body, mind and heart-wrenching pain and guilt), a year of hell wherein the darkest dark, fear, numbing shock and hopelessness threatened to swallow me whole. Shortly more than two years ago (early 2020), with unsuspecting swiftness, when what began in 2017 as a slow-forming rip current grew dangerously powerful, dragging me bound in anxious attempts to free myself. I saw my life ebb as I floundered and flailed within the deepening ocean's watery graveyard of grief.

What glorious sights abound when viewed in the mists around.
Peace in the blanketed air, scenes of the feeling heart, share.

The imaginings that take my breath away
in visions of darkest night and brightest day.
Your face and touch lives inside me as I roam.
I see, I feel, all for you. My heart seeks home.

I know the truth, illuminated like a rainbow reflecting colours of my life by that treasured breath: love flowing from my heart, cascading like a waterfall, refreshingly beautiful in it purity.
