We cuddle in the warmth of the open hearth,
as dark falls like a curtain, suddenly, with a sky
of low and brilliant stars.
Shadows of trees silhouette against the half-light.

A year ago, we were in deep pain for the loss of a loved one.
But life does go on, time the great healer of eclipsed spirits.
Painful memories do work themselves loose,
a moment comes when the door opens and lets the future in.

We have learned to harmonize ourselves
to the regular rhythms of life – slowly awaken
from a darkness long untouched by sleep.
It is time to emerge from the shadows, knowing
that happy moments can not be duplicated,
we just have to shut a door properly on the past.

I adored that line.
