The Washer

The washer spins, tumbling clothes, as thoughts tumble in my mind
New things I have learned today, that years I had tried to find
The truth is important as always, but some of it can hurt deeply too
All of it will come out in the wash, to be cleansing fully through
             Loss, heartache, betrayal and all she lied
             The depth of secrets held, when one died
       Now, it is the time, as more surfaces to be known
       With more evidence, of this long flight I have flown
