and just as cold

    This is well done but it leaves me sad Kristin…the new moon is suppose to lead to eternity of bliss not be as cold as the one discarded…you are very good with this form.

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    Exactly. :) glad you saw the void in here; that was my intent. nothing scarier than looking it in the face, and keeping on moving forward anyway…smiling.

    The shortness of this write and its clarity makes the reader stop short and just go “wow”, the feeling within this is true, but as well sad. You express yourself so clearly and well. Michael

    Stunningly powerful punch for such a few words. This is a perfect representation of the power of words. What amazing and scary instruments they are! There are things past that moon, yet again, thankfully. Just know it! Me

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    thank you, dear man!
    yes, exactly.
    I know there are…but they are only made of skin and bone…the reality is: COLD.
    but for now, for here, thank you, love you, K.B.I.T.C.H

    In that case Kristin I commend your fearlessness and determination to reach the end and begin. Know this….I, like so many others that have shared a part of your journey, are with you. If we can’t go back to the arms of loved ones then we’ll take love with us. xoxo

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    Why thank you, C. :) I feel you all there, and, if we all huddle together for warmth, we just may make it together. isn’t that a lovely thought? thank you for it. :)
    xoxo beautiful soul you are. xo

    Can totally relate to this, Kristin. Yes, beyond the sun is another moon. However, on that journey you find yourself and what truly makes you happy. . .inside and out. And ditto to what cosimopiro said. ~:)
