becoming
was
returning to
and embracing
the places
i never
wanted to
go back

 

my childhood
torn into
the dual lives
of rosy sunshine
and the darkest
feels of ghosts

 

my late husband
Patrick and my
shattered home
built brick by brick
grounded deep
to our beautiful life

Surrender

to what had happened
and
what hadn’t happened
in the rubble of
all my wishes

Miracle  

knownness
of my self
sat at the center
quietly

i am not proud
nor afraid
just to be

filled with
love
