The Path

There was a time
when you
were the gateway
to my Self.

Loving you,
and being loved,
opened doors
to the world outside
and the world inside.

Now,
as time has passed,
you’re gone from this world,
but the doors remain open.

Looking back,
I see the path we shared,
leading to this here and now.

From this place of gratitude,
complete in this moment,
I see an open road,
gleaming with possibility.
