 in closing

may you not succumb
to the encroaching darkness
but instead
shine brighter
than you have ever shined
in your entire life

silent symphony
a field of wildflowers
sways with the breeze

 interlude

can i admit
i miss being touched
held, desired or even

seen

divorce is brutal like that
when i need love most
it is ripped

away

read it until you believe it

you

are not a secluded river
or an island surrounded
by treacherous waters

you

are connected to all living beings
and have the power
to heal a critically wounded world

 only the voice
of a magnolia
i am healed
