The Orbital Journey of the Heart
2.9.2008
Begin
small beats that feel the distance
can’t fathom your history
nightmare you put behind
angry outbursts punctuate
the grey, unsettled sky of your spirit
tension always underneath the surface
realization stings that you won’t be easy
slight crack in the wall
on a night drive home
marks the start of my compassion
hurt and hate
molten throughout years
to form my stubborn core
Now it lessens
push and pull
in grown-up years
relationship grows richer
maturity reveals insight
foolish phantoms of assumption
exiled forever
your healing becoming stronger
Travel forward in my mind
to your end
Imagine me standing at your funeral
clapping for you
I see you as a survivor
I applaud you for your courage
I watched the Hand of grace in your life
I am on your side.
