A future lost

In a primordial vastness of doubt

Visions of

Irregular starburst scars spotted

upon translucent sheets of silver

Old vows fragment

Life

Love

Till death

Dreams vanish...

Superseded by strength

New vows sworn

Courage

Hope

Faith

Tomorrow

Treatments…

Comforting hands hold

Unspoken words

We shall heal

Together

Forever

    Some couples give up too easily, others dig deep, open up, and look for the pathway to forever. This is a wonderful reflection of love in action vs love as feeling and sentimentality. Great challenge entry, Jason!

    Oof, this one hits deep. From the ache of uncertainty to the quiet, unwavering strength of love and healing—it’s a journey in itself. The shift from loss to resilience is just perfect. Feels like a vow that’s more than just words—it’s a lifeline.✨
