Your sun is setting
Slowly lowering over the horizon
Entering the peaceful night
Where you will live eternally
A twinkling star on a black velvet canvas.
My heart is breaking
During this twilight transformation
Unable to stop the sky from dimming
Surrender begets transition
The night sky brings me comfort.

I hear your heartbeat
While strolling on cobblestone streets through town.
I feel your hand caress my cheek
In the warm breeze off the Bay.
There’s a pink house with green wooden shutters in the fishing village below.
Boats rock softly in the water.
Watching from the balcony it soothes me.
The chime of a lonely church bell cuts sharply through the night
marking the passage of time.
I fight my need for closure.
A need you’ll never feel.
You never opened your heart.
Still I want you near as your memory taunts me
and I strive to resolve my muddled emotions.
Watching lights flicker in the distance,
I no longer feel alone
While reliving our relationship
Through the charm of Sorrento
The romance of Ravello
The passion and fury of Vesuvious
And the ruins we’ve left behind, in Pompeii.
You see my love, you are here with me.
As I finally make peace with you in my heart
Cradled, in the Bay of Naples.

May you always find mountains to climb
And the strength to reach the top.
May you always hear music to dance to
And your heart be light enough to sing along.
May you be comforted by steady hands to hold
And find peace in the arms that surround you.
May you always hear laughter that feeds your soul
And feel the stillness that calms it.
And in that calm…
May you always hear the wisdom of the whispers
that guide us through our days…
