Realms: A story about love
I wrote Realms with the intent of it being a poem about love. However, as I was building the plot, I decided to add the elements of spirituality as well. Love is something that is taken for granted, is free but is not shared nearly enough as it should be. I hope this story will encourage you to find love in even the most unexpected circumstances.
“There’s a slim chance she’ll make it.”
All nerves in the room were shaken.
I could hear familiar voices wailing
The ice of all hope had begun hailing.
He passed away this morning at 5:11.
I believe my lost love’s now in Heaven.
I heard the dismal news around 7.
In and out of a mind severed.
When will she regain full consciousness”
My mother’s question full of nervousness.
The doctor’s response so emotionless,
“She may never regain full wakefulness.”
The drive home had been so peaceful,
We spoke of dreams we had as usual.
Holding hands we held to being faithful,
Holding hearts we held to love eternal.
