Becoming

There is an open wound
          That only time can heal.
There are old memories
           That time can never seal.
There is an emptiness
            That only time can fill.
There is a beloved voice
             That time can never still.

There is a broken heart
              That only love can mend.
There is an iron will
               That only love can bend.
There is a hungry heart
                That love alone can fill.
There is a storm tossed life
                 That love alone can still.
