How We Embraced the Beloved


Painting by Lorland Chain


How We Embraced the Beloved


How we embraced the beloved
So tightly that fate itself
Was changed into destiny

Then everything was different.

Exactly as before, but also
Different.

Death still there,
But different.

Loss still
Omnipresent, but not the same.

Held in our arms, holding us
Even as she vanished,
Even as he turned into song.
