Acceptance
Acceptance
is not an instant
shimmering golden
key
to a warm
and brilliant
future.
Pursuit
pushes it away
into void
black.
Acceptance
is temperature on
vulnerable, naked
skin.
Then,
you open up
letting in
truth.
Exclaiming
to the heavens
"I am
cold!"
This
does not cause
suffering to
end.
Instead,
the slow passage
of patient
time.
Whispered
promises of tomorrow's
life giving
sunshine;
Warmth
and a new,
brilliant morning
song.
