on the journey back
being more present in the now
not numbing out time
respecting the space between
respecting time
most importantly giving time, time
cry, shout, yell
let it all out
let my voice be heard
a dream was promised
a nightmare was delivered
trust is broken
i learn to live in your absence
i learn to grow
feeding of droplets of love from others
soon your absence will not be felt anymore
then you will miss the space i appointed you
your presence will be disruptive to me
the journey ahead is long
i welcome it
my strength will be tested
but i am ready
