The Curse and The Joy

It seemed 

like just 

a moment 

that my heart 

stopped.

It was actually

6 months. 

No beat.

No ache.

Just me 

walking 

through life

with no heart.

My energy stripped

from my body.

I thought 

I was done.

The peace 

overtook me

and

I felt the feeling

of floating 

in water.

Calmly.

The strength 

of a wave

brought 

me back. 

I heard 

your voice

speak so 

softly to me.

It whispered,

The ocean has the 

moon on its side

but you my love

have your past.

And with that

I was on the beach 

gasping for 

air.

Crying.

Remembering.

Reminding.

The curse and 

the joy

of my 

beating heart.
