Dusk’s darkening shadows fall, filling the space left by light’s waning
Stillness settles and calms the earth
Cool quiet currents come to rest
A time between times, a place between places
A threshold, a punctuation approaches
Signaling the end of one and the beginning of another
A small mark at the end of an epic is required
For without it The End can not be pronounced
Without the End a new beginning will never commence
Soft, delicate, almost imperceptible it came
Crossing over from one to the other
Marked by a Dragonfly on Cedar
It is finished in eternity now, recorded, done
As those tiny feet completed the circuit a surge of energy haloed
A memorial to what has been, and a final punctuation marks the end
I remain altered, etched, and inscribed upon
As the credits roll and fade into black, film slapping against the reel
I awaken as if from sleep and reach ever so tentatively ahead
Seeking purchase, a resting place to begin what is to come
I hold lightly to the known and trust that dawn’s new day already approaches
Like a dragonfly on Cedar
“Without the End a new beginning will never commence,” so true this is my present life. A new beginning signifies new experiences and of new pathways. Its the unknown that is uncertain.
You will find your way.
And then I listened, and found you had returned! Yes.

“I remain altered, etched, and inscribed upon” That’s the place we begin learning. Awareness of simply being touched enough by something, feeling the whispered kiss of experience. I love those moments!
Beautifully said, makes you sit back and think.
A threshold, a punctuation approaches
signaling the end of one and the beginning of another
A small mark at the end of an epic is required
For without it The End can not be pronounced
Without the End a new beginning will never commence…
Dawn is approaching. The sun will rise. How fitting it should be heralded in by a dragonfly… <3
See. 🙂
That you are ok, you mean?
Sweetie, you were ALWAYS going to be ok. You have a enormous gift of patience.
