The Greatest Romance Of My Life

Couple, Wedding, Marriage, Bridal

The greatest romance of my life has been the man I admired most…and yet was estranged from…picking up the phone to tell me he was deeply sorry for all I had suffered. More romantic still was hearing him say “I love you.”

In All The Universe, There Is Only One You

I could spend eons searching every inch of outer space. I could discover the most spectacular and dazzling creations. I could be staggered at the extraordinary majesty and awe-inspiring brilliance of the universe.

Promises Longed For

Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Girl, Cave, Nature, Mood, Tree

Since I was a child, I have read promises of paradise, humans and animals dwelling in peace. A world without fear, disease or war. A world without pain, death and grief.

I long to see those words become reality. They’re no fantasy.

The Monster Within

Monster, Fabric, Meadow, Floral, Daisy

Lurking within, taunting, tormenting, and inciting fear. Growling, gnawing, and provoking a shiver down my spine, a tremble in my hand and a shake I can’t control.

I decided enough was enough. I banished the monster within. I left him behind somewhere.
