Where water meets rock
_____________________________________
Resting beside rocks and water thought digesting
Digesting today’s news, aching muscles resting
Peace comes to me where the cold creek waters release
Release all stresses into the burbling peace
Seeking calm but getting a perspective tweaking
Tweaking expectations, transformation seeking

Found along the sidewalk

Caterpillar steadily
Chews hydrangea leaf

Lesson Learned
_____________________________________
Did you know you can feel your heart break?
I learned that two short years ago today.
It is more than a twinge or a cramp or an ache
I was fearful it would not go away.
Turns out some time will mend a heartbreak
Though I feel the scars remain to this day.
It’s a good lesson to know what’s at stake
If you find you have someone’s heart someday.
There’s lessons in trauma, make no mistake
The worth of this is crucial to convey.
