poem: distant shores

a short reflection on grief, loss, and amaranthine love

By Heather HolmesPublished about a year ago • 1 min read
Pixel art of a white wolf and a black wolf, the dearest of friends who are tragically separated but find their way back to each other

Until the moon goes dark

until the stars rain down

the sun exhausts its spark

and drops its fiery crown

my heart will call for you

my soul still seeking yours.

Our journey will renew

again on distant shores.
