elegy for an unborn daughter
in my dreams, I have a daughter. she has my smile, warm and stretching across her cheeks like it will burst. she has her father’s eyes—soft and gentle—and his laugh. she is perfect. I give her a beautiful name, and she is everything I wish for her to be. she is curious, always asks questions and tries new things and lives without my fear of failure; she is generous, never selfish, but builds firm boundaries; she shows kindness to each soul she meets. I teach her everything my parents taught me. she learns how to read, to escape into a story and to write her own. she learns how to proof a loaf of bread, how to cut butter into flour and dust berries in flour before adding them to batter. she learns how to love, how to be loved. her life is beautiful, free from worry and filled with joy.

I feel regret reminds me of winter (a powerful time for inward reflection, recalibration, introspection and deep awareness) because we can be silent within stillness, much like when we we are frozen within the depths of winter. I feel winter is the period of time when we re-evaluate choices, reflect on the past, and recharge for new beginnings to come. I feel it's a phase of our life that we must end however, the heart wants to reside within the residual energy of the past which was comfort, however, the universe forces us to begin again within the uncertain and unknown. I feel regret holds / ties us to the past however, within time, ending of cycles leads to new beginnings. I love how you incorporated violets (Spiritual colour of the Crown Chakra) because for me it is symbolic of spiritual clarity, expansiveness, and openness, however, for me blue (Spiritual colour of the Throat Chakra) represents perhaps, words left unspoken, therefore, bridging the two (divine and spiritual realm) it is like giving the soul permission to acknowledge the internal pain within to heal. I feel connections are never over, even after another has left or passed to the higher realms, because we are always connected through the heart (The ethereal connection is always present). :) This spoke to me :) I think you would like the song Lindsey Stirling - Crystallize :) Powerful :) :) :)
Just like the hottest part of a flame and certain movies, that colour can burn us and disappoint.
Huh, that's a good question that I don't have the answer to
