Alleviation
For who I was, I shut-write all the gaps
as mother moon in deep and darker spheres
interpreter of messages and traps
a woman's voice relaxing undue fears
a child still bravely smiling while in tears.
Sorrow is a pain but waiting for its healing
and I receive, get with what one’s dealing
search for the phrase that bends distressed to bright
shows what is real or just a bitter feeling.
Down to the core I look for warmth and light.
