Closer Than We Think

Our departed loved ones
are closer than we think.
Not gone,
but transformed,
woven into the quiet moments
of our lives.

Love, once given,
does not disappear.
It changes form,
softens,
and lives within
the spaces between us.

If we grow quiet enough,
if we let the world rest
for a moment,
we can feel it,
not as memory,
but as presence.

They are here,
just beyond the veil of sight,
breathing through the spaces
love once opened,
reminding us,
with every stillness,
that nothing truly loved
is ever lost.
