those darkest golden sights
prayed real through knots in her gut
mountainous lies felt so deeply
insidious boulders of hope obscuring her path
impregnable — everlasting
mournful furies of taunting vision
contained within, the greatest gratitude; highest healing
dreams of what shan’t be — to heal
smiles shared of gentle tears
reminded what would always be
to find that ease reborn
the simple joy of existing beside
most needed embrace — so long past due
pain put to rest; heart whole at last
let’s never do that again
