September 23rd, 2019.

 

And there it was, once again, just like an old friend. The kind of Joy, so powerful that you fall on your knees while walking upstairs at 7:31 A.M.

 

All the pictures in your mind coming as clear as only the wind knows how to be.

 

You can see every detail and you know what it is.

 

You can see it all beyond your tears because, this time, it’s not through the eyes that you see.

 

You let the tears run wild as they blur the sight of the Christmas Lights that have been along the rail stair since last year and to this day on September 23rd.

 

And you smile because it’s about to be Christmas again.

 

And you smile because you know everything is Okay.

 

And you smile with a clear memory of your future inside your mind and with blurry blue Christmas Lights in your teary eyes.

 

And you smile because it doesn’t matter how hard you try to explain why you cry while you smile, THANK YOU! is the only phrase your lips can remember how to say.

08:00 A.M.
