building a life…together
Sometimes
things hurt…
that certain wording…
raises Lazarus from the sepulcher…
that thing dead…
becoming alive as it
becomes deader…
any lingering hope…
carried unknown…
rising on a turn-of-phrase…
twist-of-fate
grief comes in
rising tides…
with a birthday celebration…
a wish for happiness…
becomes a greater letting go…
a working through…
of what you didn’t know…
you still held in your heart…
it is right and proper…
to cry a little…
scream a little…
speak your truth
then let your heart settle
into the blue and gold softness
of forgiveness
of letting go
of what no longer serves
then stepping firmly into relationship
life without the edge
of the bleeding cut
letting the wounds heal
in the cleared air between your two hearts
recognize the moment
when the pain is no longer sharp
start this new beginning
free
to be happy
to build a new safe dwelling
smile when the wind blows through your hair
reminding you of the work you have completed
to accept both parts of the gift
giving and receiving equally important
take the step forward
and commit to your new life
