Time

Time heals they say.
But time is also a river that sweeps us inexorably on,
Away from the past, from Ben.
We tumble through the rapids, bruised and battered,
Gasping at times for breath.
Longing for peaceful water left behind.
Can't we pause for a moment, or better, go back?
To savor the past and not to forget.

  1. While being swept away from Ben you are also being swept closer to him once again.
    You won't ever forget the things that matter and one day you will see him again, and you will all be whole and healed.

  2. it' so early,
    still dark
    still in the timeless moment
    the heart races past the mind
    unforgiving
    unrelenting
    it's too early
    to forget
    keep breathing
    in and out
    mention the memories
    let comfort come,
    we are all praying
    for comfort
