Journal Entry 

15 May 1598

 

Long have my inner notes been lulled to whisper… until now, as I have been aroused by the reverberation that you, my ancient love, are approaching.

I have always loved you, I love you still, I always will.

And I know you are more than a dream, for I remember your tones, even in my waking, and your exquisite vibrations fill the very corners of my being.

We have orchestrated this, our music, for a thousand years or more. Our harmonizing chords striking deep within this One Soul shall serenade all things into infinity—a heavenly resonation—leaving such an impression upon the universe that the stars call out a billion ovations.

Listen now, My Beloved, our symphony seduces and implores, we return to us.

We are One Mind, One Heart, One Soul.

I reach to embrace you gently, but the sun’s rise chases another dark velvet thief who has stolen my sleep, our song, and you from me, as I am left in these, my long waking hours, with only haunting echos of our refrain.

Yet I know I will find you, and our music will rise again, through eternity…

Once and Forever.
