HEALER

Time is a wonderful thing 
It sifts through memories 
to dull the pain 
Keeps the beautiful bits 
intact 
And sheds what remain 
Heals scars 
Paints the dark with light 
Past winters take on hues 
of a lazy summer rain 
Yes, time is a funny thing 
It puts together our brokenness 
into kaleidoscopic patterns

Compelling us to retain 

Selectively
Only the rapturous moments 

It is destiny’s trick, preordained

We hurt, we break,

We disintegrate

Yet, we dare to fall in love 
all over again.
