I Was Thinking of Us
"This morning, I was thinking of us, / Just in time to watch the sun rise."
I Was Thinking of Us
This morning, I was thinking of us,
Just in time to watch the sun rise.
There was a part of me craving
The nearness of our devotion
And this amazing part of you
God showed me years ago.
Because it makes me smile
Whenever I feel blue.
Yes, this part of you
Keeps my heart full
And my eyes delighted
Every second of the day.
And when shadows claim their space,
Diluting the echoes of struggling light,
My heart knows how to find you.
Solace invites itself
In every speck of dust.
Bliss rests easy
In every chair we’ve sat.
My heart knows where to find you.

One of the Crazy Things Rich People Do That's Scary To Think About
They impress us, and sometimes they scare us, but the ultra-rich are always interesting. Some of their famous activities include buying yachts too big to move through channels, buying ridiculously priced cars that could feed the homeless of New York for weeks, and their expensive tastes in sex workers.

I was about to quote the exact lines Mackenzie has… with a slightly less eloquently written note saying these really stood out to me 🥰
Absolutely gorgeous, Cendrine! Solace found in spite of the sadness. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
Ugh I love every bit of this! “And when shadows claim their space, Diluting the echoes of struggling light, My heart knows how to find you.“ You bring in a contrasting optimism to the sadness, yet leave us with peace in those chairs. What a gorgeous read. ❤️
Gorgeous piece. Well done.
Beautiful!
So poignantly written 'Solace invites itself, In every speck of dust.' gave me shivers. Beautiful! 🤍
I love the way the light meets the dust in this poem, very beautiful.
Great job 😉📝🧡
