Before the cosmos - my love, there was you


Long before there were any stars


When the great empty void was packed full of a hundred-thousand other even emptier voids


There was a soft whisper in the dark

~ and maybe this whisper was more like a song ~ and maybe this song was more like a poem ~ and maybe this poem was more like a prayer


And this soft whisper that was a song that was a poem that was a prayer

kept uttering your name and saying


“I can’t wait for the day you come to find me”


yes, even before the first crack of Genesis lightning spread its dandelion seed across the cosmos

you were the first thing on the mind of a waking God


please hold on you matter more than matter itself


please hold on you have more time than time itself


please hold on you have existed before existence


please hold on

Beautifully written and filled with emotion. The way you express love, connection, and the deeper meaning behind relationships makes this piece very memorable. Writing that creates a genuine emotional response is always special. I recently read another thoughtful piece shared through Crime Scene Cleanup that explored personal stories in a meaningful way as well.

Beautifully written and deeply emotional. The way you expressed love, connection, and memories through your words creates a very personal reading experience. It is a wonderful reminder of how powerful storytelling can be. I recently read a Texas-based review blog called https://peacockbuild.com/ and it also showed how thoughtful writing can leave an impression.

Their technicians arrived on time and immediately got to work assessing our commercial garage door problems. The repairs were completed professionally, and the door now operates much better than before. I checked https://www.goprogaragedoorrepair.com/ to learn more about their capabilities and experience. The team was courteous and responsive throughout. They repaired tracks, springs, and other components while maintaining high standards of workmanship.
