Wisdom from Wounds
A tear silently falls,
A heart slowly tears....
Betrayal.
Life must continue....
With time,
the tears will dry,
sunshine will evaporate the murky river,
Rapids powered by rage will rest...
Currents patterned by collisions will clear.
Knowing you cannot
find yourself in someone else,
Accepting you cannot
survive without turth and trust,
You grab the lifeline...
Those who have waded the river,
who have stepped away from the debris
rediscovered valuable pieces of a shattered life
Light shines where tears once pooled...
Stronger threads repair a shredded soul...
Step by step,
Breath by breath,
Wounds heal....
Strength gained from that pain..
Wisdom brings freedom.
Memories no longer exhaust,
The injury is put to rest
Hope is regained...
A hand reaches toward,
surviving and living...
Another extends backward,
comforting and sustaining...
