The wind brushing my face and body
The minute before and after
Washing over my being
Escaping from my hands
Unanswered questions
Gifts of closure
Emptiness
Silence
Lone

It was a beautiful sharing Elizabeth. Closure comes in its own time. Teaches us patience to understand things over time. Be well dear friend.

Yes, sometimes it is enough just to be, and to let the moment change as it may, without trying to answer why. Emptiness and silence can be healing.
