again...

If you were granted the chance to again be with someone whom you have personally lost, for just another 24 hours, who would it be...
Would the choice come from deep within your heart, or would this choice be made from your mind's list of candidates...
Who would it be that you would bring back for these few precious moments to be shared...

A Teacher with whom you shared a deep lesson learned, who set you on a path of seeking and knowledge...

An Elder who imparted wisdom and Grace, whose faith in who you were and who you would become was unshakable...

A Lover, with whom you shared your most intimate fears and dreams, with whom you walked your stories  until they were taken, and left your heart broken and in the grips of grief.

Who would they be....

What would you say if you had 24 hours to speak... would it be memories, new experiences, truths left unsaid in your last goodbye to each other...?

Would your embrace be enough to say everything your Heart needed to divulge.. would your tears say everything your Soul needed to shed so as to make this second chance count for all the missteps in the first go round.

Would you just listen... and hang on ever word from your Beloved, allowing them to fill the time with all that their journey has been for them since they too said goodbye...

Would you just sit quietly, wrapped in this feeling of divine oneness, to have been given these hours to just "Be" present for each other...

and as your moments in each others blessed company again draw to a close, how would you say another Good-bye.. how will you speak everything that this moment holds...

What words would you allow your Heart to form and speak... would you hold anything back or let it all flow.. 24 hours of reflection and interaction, a second chance...

As your Loved one rises to leave, and looks your way with Love overflowing in their smile, what would you hold deep deep down..

If you were granted the chance...
just 24 hours...
would you do it...
again...
