Season Of Change

A poem about healing.

Pain

How I wish

I never knew you

As a daily companion

In my life.

Especially

When one realizes

Emotional pain hurts

Just as badly as

If it was

Physical pain.

Which

Cuts deeply

Into my soul

Leaving behind

Ploughed furrows

Across it.

Even now

Decades later

Still are exposed

For all

To see.

Ever

So slow healing

On their own timetable

Not mine.

Which

Seems to be

So contradictive

At times

To me.
