   Ah, that is beautifully sad, and nearly brought me to tears.There is an -as yet unknown- piece welling up somewhere in my mind. You will see if it ever comes to the surface of daylight!

      I have another version that is bumbling around in my mind, but I wanted to keep it short. Thanks Mum.

      Yes, on both counts for me, beautiful that I still remember how much I love, breaking because I do. But the heart does what it will, and I just follow along.

         Hearts are tender things but strong too …. if we are willing to align and not resist to not try and desensitise ourselves then we can really see the brightness of the sun because we have seen the darkness of a starless night.

            Oh, lovely words Osyth, and so right. Sometimes we also NEED to see the dark, because the light can be so beautiful and overwhelming, and without a comparison we forget it’s worth.

   I love the analogy of a heart as a lighthouse. It’s beautiful. 🙂

      Thanks muchly QG. It came into my head after a particularly intense dream about my dead husband, and it just seemed to work to explain how I felt. Glad you liked it.

      Thanks Phil. Made me blub writing it too. Sometimes it’s not all sillies that come out the end of my fingers.
