Time heals




Heavy loads lighten

With deposits and discards

Along the way

The body seems to know


What to do

when cut, shattered, broken

Takes care

of itself, well


Wounds heal, eventually

Even the inside ones

May mend

If treated


Kindly, Rest,

Until ready

to move 

On each step carries

One-One

step further away


From the point

Of impact.

In tact 

You must keep 

walking from Then.


Lighter with Less.

Changed for Good.

Humbled with Life.

Graced by...

What comes

After all?


So much

Was it

Grace?


And then-

How much a

handbasket

Will hold

over so many 

seasons,

weather worn

by hand.

not needing, not wanting
more than, merely
her presence, her past
come back…
