Knowing

I sit here writing this...the breeze is blowing in through my window coming across the lake, hinting of the approaching equinox/fall and winter to follow...

It all flows through me, touching me, wrapping around me, chilling me slightly..

I think of him, of his arms replacing the wind, taking me in, warming me, keeping the night at bay. I am soothed by these thoughts, images, hopes for a future.

Knowing; replacing doubt, filling me up. Beginning as a whisper, like the breeze at first, then rising to a full crescendo, until it becomes an all-powerful, all-present voice in my mind..telling me of the power, joy and hope of love and daring to speak in terms of future...

...of forever.
