I write these words to tell you something that you will never understand. They drain onto my page like a thousand etchings of memories never made and yet, somehow never forgotten.
Like the blinding sensation of sunlight peering into a darkened room, I see you�?When everything is black, you make the small beauties of life appear right before me and each time, I realise you are one of those simple treasure of life.
Time�?Slips by�?Ever so�?Slowly�?And as the minutes fly past and the days roll by, I hold on to time even though I know that I can only watch as it slips through my fingers, like a shadow.
As the seasons change, I grow with the trees, find parts of myself in the wilderness around me. The roots of my foundations strengthen, because the further I climb the more powerful I become. From this height, I know that even my world has the capability of being Paradise.
Like the Autumn leaves, golden as they are, I live secretly aware that I am delicate�?But as if those leaves were made of iron, one will not be broken again and one will never be the leaf to fall from the branches in a storm.
Yet, I need you�?Because as I see you, you see me too. From all the carvings of a broken child, into the body once made of stone, from all the splinters left as life has worn me at the edges�?You know me. To you, I am not invisible, I am invincible.
I ask nothing of you, yet in your company I am richer than the richest Queen. Diamonds and pearls are the smiles that you give and with each one I am blessed with wealth. So precious�?And to some, meaningless.
Laughter, such gentle music, a melody rarely heard within the boundaries of isolation, confinement of the mind�?Yet you play that music so well and offer it to a world, so ungrateful.
I thank you, from the bottom of my being, from the gloom of every hidden crevice, with every part of my existence�?I thank you and I have missed you as I missed the Summer which left, so suddenly.
The frosty mornings of Winter, though cold and stained with shards of a past long gone, remind me that this my new beginning.
I am a surviving tree, surrounded by those alike and yet so far from who I am, yet I know, there is a new dawn on the horizon and once more I will climb.
I am the leaf, clinging onto dreams and aspirations with every ounce of life. I can hold on, this time. No longer will I fall to the ground and weep.
You remind me of who I am�?Watch me flourish and when I’ve reached the highest point, keep climbing with me. I am within a part of your life, forever steady, forever blooming, forever true. Temporary has no meaning.
When the wind whispers and there is silence, I’ll listen to all the things, lingering in your mind, yet never spoken.
When you’re weak, lean on me and keep on leaning for as long as you need. I am rooted, never will I walk away and desert you.
I am the unbreakable. I will never break you.
I am a fighting tree�?Yet no matter how many flowers blossom, they aren’t the ones you’ll pick�?But I’m still rooted and never will I leave. For Lu <3 xx |
