It's not for me to say
(or know ?)
why you chose to go.

The silence is deafening.
The air is still.

Even music has lost
it's usual thrill.

Food tastes flat,
without your spice of life.

But I can wait.
I have not shut the gate,
on Love.
Have you?

Did we pass through
this ethereal entrance
too late?

Very nice. I love the use of "ethereal". It's a word that isn't used much, but is very powerful.
Nicely done!!

Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

Hello Kacy

This was so sad, yet there still seemed to be some hope at the end.  If this is written from a personal experience I hope the color returns to your life soon.

Take care....Sue

I'm anchored in you

Thanks, Kris! I love that word too. When I say it outloud, it transports me to another realm.

Sue, I'm OK. I guess it is from personal experience, yet I do remain constantly hopeful. It is my basic nature to look for the silver lining within the darkest corners. but I never knew that about myself until I began to 'release' the real me.

May love and light awlays shine upon you!

Yep, understand this midnight write.  Is how I finally learned to spell 'compromise'.
When nothing's the same or as good, without someone...amazing what bending a bit can do.
