after the hourglass has filled
with time-worn sand
turned dusty and coarse
after the air has settled
still and stagnate
after the weight
of disintegrated decay
that plagued the mind
after the realization
that change is inevitable
after the faces
streaked with saline
after the anger
hot and unbridled
after denial
after rage
after acceptance
afterafterafter
after everything
comes one perfect moment.
Then, after comes….
Serena Joy Sinclair 
Good to remember to enjoy those perfect moments!

“Then, after comes….” I see profound sadness in the pause. I think this is the last of its kind.
