The old leather journal,
was tucked neatly
between the crisp, white linen.
Only two days had passed,
since she left this earthly plane.
He picked it up gently,
this newfound treasure.
Breathing in the scent of
rosemary and lavender.
With trembling hands,
he traced her delicate penmanship.
‘Our Love is Forever’,
inscribed on the cover.
Faded yellow pages,
filled with hopes, dreams, love.
He wept silently,
wanting to understand.
“Why have you left me, my darling?”
She placed her etheric hand,
upon his rugged face.
“I have not forsaken you, my love.
I am only behind the veil.”
Sensing her presence,
he covered her hand with his.
There was no longer silence,
as he listened with his heart.
“We shall be together,
when your journey is through.
You will join me in Heaven,
never to be separated again”.
