Empty! Void! Desolate cavern of unused space a place for everything, but nothing in place. Crevices where dreams once resided, now void and undecided. The past frayed and faded, the future uninvaded. But alas, now empty and bare, no glimmer or shimmer dancing there. Where have the dreams and creativity fled? Are there more just ahead? Fears and doubts churn, as to impenetrable darkness, I turn. Where have all the creative ideas gone? Dreams and plans absent, all alone I look out unto an empty void landscape. Barren gray, no color the monotony to break. Through misty gray land and water with faded gray sky above, desperately searching for anything to give my spirit a shove from this paralyzing daze shrouded in a dull mind-numbing haze, but with open or closed eyes it is her face that I visualize. How does one feast on cheese and bread, once that on Ambrosia they have fed? Life with her was happiness beyond compare, but what about years without her to share? No, she was not Heaven or the Earth below, just the sun and moon that made them glow. No honey could ever be so sweet as the nectar of her lips or the whisper of her approaching feet. Silence and emptiness now fill the space that once sparkled with her grace. Wait! Listen! Soft strains of melodious Faery refrains. She has not gone, I am never alone. Her presence is all around, in every scene, in each sound. The music of her laughter fills the air, the gentle breeze carries the fragrance of her hair. The grandeur of nature's grace is the very same beauty that I saw in her face. Yes, there are lonely moments and empty arms, a sadness of the loss of her physical charms, the realization that death stilled her body, took her breath. These moments are filled with terrible pain that saddens the heart, paralyzes the brain, and if there too long I dwell, I am drawn into a depressed spell. And yet, most any common sight can bring flooding memories to fill me with delight, make me realize that such a love never dies. Eternity is ours to share, Dragon Dancer will always be there, our essences meshed as one, our union, never to be undone. Empty? Void? No! Merely growing pains to open my heart, the richness of my life to impart.
