THE LIGHT THAT YOU LEFT ME WILL EVERGLOW

"Everglow"is about the feeling of warmth or happiness that comes with the sadness you feel when you think about a relationship, situation, or friendship that has now ended or will do someday, but I truly believe that the seeds of love, hope and peace we plant in this world will follow us into the next and the end is not the end, but the beginning of something new; something beautiful and when we look back, we will see that what we have sown we will reap … “ - excerpt from a short story, “Goodbye to H” - AP

 

Dedicated to my dear friend, Julie who brought me back … you and your Mum are in my thoughts and prayers xx

EVERGLOW - COLDPLAY

 

The closer we look the more we find

each precious drop; a diamond from Heaven

each tiny thorn; a poignant reminder

that all have a purpose in this world of ours

sitting in my enchanted garden

a snail coiled beautifully next to me

his iridescent glowing colours

a reminder of life's constancy

overhead the wind blows softly

the pink quince flowers on the bowers

softly blushing against the blue

clear skies always a kind reminder

that Heaven is near and all around you

each step we take a subtleness settles

on gentle shoulders filled with love

your countenance like the beautiful flowers

you photograph; bring peace like a morning dove

no need to thank me for my words

it is I who should be thanking you

and I do my friend with all my heart

for it is your words that brought me back and through

you see the darkness had descended on me

a betrayal by a very close friend

and I could only find words of sadness

but you changed all that; with the words you sent

so here I am in my Heavenly garden

writing these words that you deserve

and praying for you and your dear beloved

mother who brought an angel here to earth

each day is a miracle; each moment a blessing

and no-one knows how our stories end

but while we are here, we should be kind and loving

just like you my sweet, caring friend

I suffered betrayal at the hands of another

but I won't lose hope; I keep open my heart

for an end is not the end of our story

we go on; we live; we love; we start

right back at the beginning

when innocence was bliss

like the first Spring flower on a misty morning

and the sweetness of our very first kiss

our journey in this life may draw to a close

but the suffering we learned from

like the very first rose

we overcame and we blossomed

we gave it our all

and this day hope resurfaced

and we didn't fall.
