This is my body and soul

It had finally happened. He had gone a full day without thinking about Lillian and when she did cross his mind it didn't have the same sting that it once had. Their children were grown enough now that they no longer needed his full attention. He went several days at a time without seeing them now. Actually, he hadn't seen Pyre in quite a while, but he was confident that his only son was fine. As long as they checked in with him from time to time he was fine with it. Perhaps one day he would actually get around to joining a pack like he had intended to when he first returned here and they could all live together again. He wasn't cut out to be the overbearing, protective parent. He loved them dearly, but he didn't have it in him to worry about their every move. Maybe he just never learned that way of parenting since his own parents were so far from that. He walked through the collection of broken down stones and foliage, the water trapped on the leaves quickly collecting on his legs and stomach. He had stayed in an alcove of one of the rocks through the morning till the rain passed, but it seemed like he couldn't avoid it entirely. At least the sun was out once again. Finding one of the taller rocks in the area, he climbed up to the top and settled down on his stomach with a sigh. He lifted his face toward the sun and closed his eyes much the same way a sunflower leans to drink in the sunlight. A smile touched his lips and for a moment his mind was quiet. |
