if we knew the chapters
in our lives would end
would we mark the margins
with our fingertips
tracing the moments
we thought were endless
would we read with less haste
feeling the weight
of each word as it came
would we cherish the ordinary
those quiet scenes we often skim
knowing they would one day close
perhaps we’d savor the silence
between the sentences
the space that carries
everything unsaid
in knowing would we
stop rushing toward the next
and instead let each chapter
unfold at its own pace
would we find peace
in the endings
recognizing that each one
is a doorway
and every close is not an end
but the start of something
we may never fully understand

Wow! That’s powerful! Magnificently articulated! This is why I’m such a believer in slowing everything down, and savoring each beautiful moment of time. You’re absolutely a special light in this world! ❤️🙂💞💡
What a beautiful comment ❤️ I’ve been trying to live that way myself. It’s not always easy with the demands of life, but I’m trying.
Exactly! I definitely understand the struggle! Trying is always good enough in my book! 💪💞
Both beautiful and true

knowing they would one day close

the space that carries
everything unsaid
