Embers of the Afterglow

Turning around to see

where I had been

I noticed the sun tending to

the embers of the afterglow.

Etching the memory deep

into my mind, my body and my soul

I walk away.

Deeply, yet gently inhaling

I feel myself fill up with strength and courage

knowing

that this, right now,  is a perfect moment.
