Time itself has numbing effects
If our minds remain complicit
Yet, there have been such times
Sadly, I’ve unexpectedly realized
Old wounds thought long healed
Just may rematerialize painfully
As all those memories come too
Learning that some of our wounds
Can never fully heal with time itself
Especially when the wounds wait
Substituting for what was stolen
Mindful innocents are unrepairable
We’re burdened bound to that legacy
Accepting that is … accepting healing

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths
