Each Coming Night

I can only see my mother's face so vividly when I'm dreaming about her. When I'm not dreaming, I have trouble picturing her face in my mind they way I remember it. And it's only been less than three years since she passed away. Isn't it sad? Reminds me of this verse from Each Coming Night by Iron & Wine:

Will you say to me when I’m gone
"Your face has faded but lingers on
Because light strikes a deal with each
coming night"

I've been listening to it all morning. It's soothing me.

  • Your post is very inspiring. As of late, I've been a little on the outs with my mother. I love her dearly but every once in a while we argue over silly things. Last week was one of those weeks. After reading your post I realize that tomorrow might not be...thank you and I am sorry that your mother is no longer with you but I am sure you have her in spirit.

  • FIrda,

    I am sorry to hear your sadness on remembering your mother. Hope your days in this week will be cheered up.
