Those Loved And Those Lost

My mind, normally a noisy sphere of busy thoughts and chatter, is quieter tonight. Thoughts are slower and melancholy as I sift through the roster of those loved and those lost. We sometimes need to take a deep breath, reflect and be thankful not only for what we have, but also for those things we no longer have but still love. Yes, my mind is a little quieter tonight but daylight will come again soon and as sure as it will come, so will the fresh energy of life, love and happiness.
