Redamancy—
the gravity of one heart pulling toward another,
calling for steadfastness not out of duty,
but out of devotion.
It is love returned with equal force, even in suffering,
even in the ache of a covenant interrupted,
only because mortality calls one home,
when the circle comes to its end—
“until death do us part.”
One heart returning the love of another,
year after year,
until mortality brings the earthly journey to its close.
It carries the voice of someone
who has stood beside grief, beside devotion,
beside the holy endurance of love.
It understands that love has a shape,
a journey… and a completion.
It is living with the knowledge
that the last chapter will one day arrive,
that the circle will close in its appointed time—
yet knowing that love has been returned
through all the years.
A love mirrored, sustained,
and lived into its fullness.
The circle will close—
not by abandonment,
but by faithfulness.
