She wonders if he knows of all that she has placed within his safekeeping....
the soft secret side of herself she has entrusted to none before him.
Secret only because no one has been discerning enough to see into her heart as he does.
Her eyes grow misty and her lips quiver a lil' at times, because
she knows that he is
stronger than she.
He will steadfastly maintain his
life's direction, and she has to
learn to accept, that she will
only be allowed to share his journey.....
for a heartbeat......
when measured against the breath of infinity ~ ~ ~ ~
A bittersweet decision for this day.....
a teardrop is allowed to fall?
Or......
a smile takes flight upon the wings of a butterfly?
She walks along the path she has chosen....
a seedling cradled ever-so-gently within her hands....
She stops to kneel....
feeling the warm soil against her skin,
as she carefully plants one more delicate flower......
in the soft beauty of her
butterfly garden.....
