Revelations/Acceptance

  

Soul searching…

Realization…

Strikes like a snake bite

Then calms like a gentle stream.

 

For the things

I recently learned

I have come to terms

And made my peace.

 

Though time may

Not be on my side

I still consider it

A friend.

 

Though some bridges

May be burned

There is still a rope

To attempt to return

If I’m not afraid to die…

Which I’m not.

 

And though I may

Never be loved again

My heart will never be lonely

Knowing it once was.

Dale, your words brought to mind other words from long ago. . . a story where a man is dying from snake bite, the story was called 'a la deriva'. Stream of consciousness technique takes us on a journey as he travels back to where he belongs. Until at the very end, we find he is injured beyond help.

But, you, you've learned lessons. You have roads left to walk. You have every hope ahead of you.
