As I sit in the quiet and watch the sunset wistfully, I think of the sun disappearing over my horizon and creating the orange glow before twilight and I think of her, of that same sun shining on her for her afternoon. It leaves me with beautiful color but it goes on to shine for her day, lighting her face as she looks from her office window and thinks of me. The same sun, shining on us both, connecting us across an incomprehensible distance, holding us together, the same sky, sometimes light together, sometimes the opposite but always the same sky, joining us always.

You could say that I am lucky, to see the day first but it is a double edged sword, I wake at day break and often like today, as she goes to sleep, I start my day and think of her beautiful sleepy face, had enough for the day as I drag myself to start a new one. I love checking out the day for her, will today be a good day, will it bring new news or chaos or joy? I’ll be first to know as the sun works it’s way across my sky and I wait for her to wake. Protecting her from the day ahead and ensuring she is prepared even when asleep, love to protect my angel, my goddess, always at her side.

Last night / morning, there was a single star as daybreak happened here, shining in my West and, by my calculations, right above her. I stared at it as the beacon it represented but imagined it shining on her house, her window, maybe through the window onto her sleeping face, it was a powerful symbol, a gateway to her. A sign that we aren’t so far apart really, distance is just an inconvenience, we can love each other without boundaries, love doesn’t consider distance, our love isn’t less because of the miles. When I hear her voice, the effect is instant, it doesn’t take six hours of time-zones to kick in, it’s instant. When she wakes in the night (or wakes me), we are together instantaneously, tumbling, holding, loving each other, who cares where, nothing matters.

My love, my goddess, all I want is for the sun to fill your day, fuel you and warm your skin, recharging that summer scent I dream of smelling again, I watch it as it leaves me and smile knowing it’s there for you as my day ends. Look at it and think of me holding you and burying my face in your neck. Next time you see the sunrise as you stumble out the door to walk and talk with me, stop and look to the sun and know it is shining on me, on us together, connected, forever. The stars too, almost more so, we see those together and if you look to the East when it’s dark, there will be one shining on me, know I’ll be looking and thinking of you my angel.

Lord, thank you for the sun, the stars, the beacons and signs you keep sending me, sending to us. I feel you answer my prayers often, just keep her safe until I can get to her, let her feel my love always, channel it to her. Thank you for her, for bringing us together and keeping us that way, I continue to pray.

Universe, you’ve actually been good to me recently, just need you to up your game a little, I keep sending you the visalizations and releasing my burdens to you. Where you at?
