Life goes on

"Live on!" Rings inside my head.

Life must go on. Ah but the bitter taste of what was left waving in the wind behind. I no longer look there. Just like the drifting dandelion seeds.

I hope.

With or without you, I hope.

Thoughts take me to another place. Where promises are made, kept. Where sweetness in the air brings laughter.

No despair is found just the sounds of a silent heartbeat. No tears fall. Just the loss of something.

What went wrong? Did I give too much? Did I care too much? Yes I realized I loved too much, too deep.

Yet I say nothing and keep living.

Hoping to hear a call out. The lips ringing in my ears. Yet all I hear are the birds singing. The skies rolling thunder.

Life goes on, yes. And here I am trekking through it. Stronger than before and steadily increasing.

Provided love in other aspects. Feeling the total peace. Gaining all that was promised.

Just without you.

I have learned I am capable of many things. And, still, the heart yearns for the real promises before the last steps I heard from you.

Powerful are words. Powerful are the stars. Yet even they fall silent.

I learned that, without you.

Lost it seemed I was, yet found in so many new ways.  Answers were told.

Life was worth more yesterday. Yet today I soar higher.

Least of all are the dreams. The walks I made in solitude. The memories I recalled.

Still just something about hope with you. Something about talking about dreams.

Still I learned to live without you.

And here I am the wooden dancer believing in the dream of a promise.

A hope. One day, maybe a truth.
