in all things

Posted by JR on

If we all come from stardust,

then you are galaxies.

The light in this sweet face,

lit from within,

is born of a million suns,

and my own body

that carried you

And carries you still.

Your breath is the wind now.

Under my hand, you are the tree.

And the grass.

And the ocean.

You are the whale,

moving through unknown fathoms,

breaking the surface

to say, “Look. I am in all things.”

Your smile is a universe of

love

and the spark that was you

in this world,

is now a blazing flame that will one day

guide me home.

			On August 20, 2007, Isabel was born. It was her father's birthday. 
On June 20, 2018, Isabel passed away in her sleep from a cardiac arrest due to congenital heart issues. It was my birthday. 
This is the thoughts, musings, stories and sometimes poetry about the life of Isabel, our life without her, and that of her little sister Talia, who has kept the light on in our lives.
