companion

by. rsy

pieces that never were before

emerge from a familiarity, vague

untried but seasoned, molding

through a glimpse

whence a haze

unsuspecting history

presents its trails of comfort

ribbons of bittersweet clementine

render glimmers of time stretched to hold

spaces shared

sincerity delivered

still much to impart, discover

even when the day comes

the hearth is snuffed out

its ribbons remain

a cosmic union had taken place

be it pained or wondrous

intended - all the same
