They arrived at the destination
without speaking,
without exchanging anything.
Because the destination
was still far away
in their minds.
But in their hearts,
they believed
they had arrived.
They set their burdens down,
felt their shoulders loosen,
light for a moment.
Then incompleteness returns.
It follows you,
pulls you downward,
deeper,
and deeper still.
Until someone shakes you awake.
And you rise,
wondering,
was I dreaming?
Beautiful piece. It makes me think of my grieving and hoping to see my loved in my dreams, sometimes it happens, then when I wake reality hits. It did change over time for me. Like when it first happened, I questioned if it was all a bad dream and it took me minutes to figure that out in my half dream state then deep grief happened all over again. Thank you for creating such a moving piece of art.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂 I deeply appreciate it.
