The Healing

It came as a wrinkled reflection
The soul in the mirror 
Still finding courage 
Rhythm in nursery rhymes 
A familiar mild humour 
Self dependence 

Like a portrait of somber 
Assuage sessions seek 
A soft light in bleak places 
Many voices speak 
Numb tones from happy faces 
A march into amber 

Last time it swayed a little farther 
Slightly aligned to the light 
smoke from burnt cyber bridges
A shadow of black but not dark 
Footsteps out of the door 
Unsolicited farewell 

A prelude to dawn 
Mocking birds taking flight 
Serenity and her gang
Hope glimmering fate pervading sight 
An element of freedom 
Undressing from "their" preferences

There’s no metaphor for this silence
Pushing away the innocence 
A second take at complete recovery 
Cold play on a summer eve 
A scant senile reverie 
There’s no Healing without pain !
