time heals or so they say
gives the illusion of comforting
barely ~ it merely glosses over
at best of times dulls our suffering
we learn to live with pain
grin and bear the heartache
we befriend shadows in the dark
through the night that keep us awake
we manage to calm the beast
though it feeds on our broken heart
we manage somehow to coexist
so it doesn’t fully tear us apart
we understand that time can be our ally
if we learn to cope as best we can
we remember to not give up
so must get back on the caravan
we tolerate inevitable fluctuations
bravely ride the waves of emotion
we welcome nature’s cycles
connect with land and ocean
we embrace our role
within this universe sublime
as we invite peace within
and treasure the miracle of time
