Healing

"Silence is golden" seemed an asinine adage when my "I love you" was met with stony silence. A black abyss engulfed me. I longed to emerge. I have heard time heals all wounds. Time, prayer, and real love-- great healers--have brought me back. Depression, you've been vanquished. Date: December 17, 2017 Contest Title: One or Two Tanka Sponsor: Rick Parise

Thanks for reading, Andrea. I really don't know why I chose the tanka; I've never really got a handle on the form! Janice
