Fighter

Sometimes I'd like to press pause,
appreciate my flaws,
embrace the day
paint color to the gray
recover
relax
cry.

That was this weekend for me.

Amazing how time numbs feeling
and empowers memories with evocation of the same.

That with which we fight so hard to hold,
is the most moving and edifying when released.
pride is one of those things,
grudges are another.

I write, knowing my heart is understood by my Creator.
Amen.
