illuminated

it's cold here now
but a light flickers warmth
in the distance
and the promise of thawing
teases.

Strange candles on far winds
never forgotten
but thought extinguished
hold gentle glow and incendiary, smoldering
promise.

In the light of remembrance
In the lightening of loves gone past
i am illuminated
and will shine brighter for it's reflection
i am illuminated

apology accepted.
i love you too
and always will.
see in you a few months.

thank you.
