DearSeed
They say Heaven forgets.
That when a Light ascends, every trace of the living is washed away -
the warmth, the ache, the scent of rain.
But one Light never learned to forget.
And when she was reborn,
he found her again - mortal, fragile, and beautifully unaware.
Every thousand years, the Beloved rewards them a rest -
a mercy disguised as longing.
A rest to feel, to touch, to smell, and to live.
One Light has been dimmed,
punished to remember.
One Light remains obedient and faithful.
And one soul - hers - returns as a gift.
Yet every time it rains, the heavens tremble.
For even the Beloved cannot silence a heart that remembers.
Because when Heaven smelled like rain,
a vow shattered quietly,
and eternity remembered how to ache.
