Writing and Photography by Jeff E. Brown

We stumbled back then.

Now we float above,

Reaching out, but never quite touching

All that’s down below.

It’s alright.

It’s good.

We’re different people today.

Unshackled and unbowed.

Free to experience

Each moment for what it is worth.

Letting go of the pain

And embracing

The love we thought we didn’t deserve.

The sky is so bright.

Rays refracting

And turning the blues, all the blues,

Into a wash of warm, white light.
