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.
