The Afterglow

I sat and watched the bright lights of wonder.. Never knowing the pain. To be basked in the glow, of missing you so..

But, my small town woman.. I'll be coming home to bring you the promise.. that I'll never leave you again..

Bersemadilah dikau dengan aman dan tenteram di sana, duhai jiwa yang tenang.


The aftermath:

And what a mess, I mean mega mess we found ourselves in. A scene that would befit a mammoth scale volcano spew.

When the last person that came left, the cleaning up, the mopping, the rearrangement, the sorting, the cleaning, the grimes, the scrubs, the mental fatigue, the ebbing tide, the anguish..yes that too.. they all percolate into a mega energy drainage ( nothing to do with TNB and the JKR ), just my family and I, against time and space.

A new day will dawn

Surely

Art, it was a tahlil, and we immediately started missing the family members who left. I will come by again for sure. Thanks Art. And ART it shall be.

Yes, JM, tiring but we appreciated the company we had, very much.

Deme my son, I am happy you are here, and your presence is always appreciated.

Count Byron said...

Kak Teh. Thank you. I am keeping well alhamdulillah. It was not a very easy moment but with support from family members and friends who cared, we waded through, mustering calmness where needed.
Thanks for noticing KT

Count Byron said...

1na, now that it had been announced, we went through some rough patch. Thank you for coming by.

Count Byron said...

Fauziah, thank you for your kind gestures. And for the prayer. We are happy to have good friends and caring neighbours. And once again, thank you for your untiring effort.

Count Byron said...

Simah, thank you for your prayers. I am sorry for not being able to call. I thought you were on your way to Turkey then. Had I known that you are only just now going home, I would have called when I finished with the tahlil and relatives. May you have great memories of your time spent home here in Malaysia.
Thanks
CB
