~Poetry~

I find myself searching
Always looking to get back
To how things once were
Long ago when I was young

When I knew innocence
When my mind was pure
When my body knew vigour

Now I feel jaded and cold
Many aches weigh an aged heart
Loaded up with all the excess
Beating now less enthusiastically

When I knew suffering
When my mind raced
When my body diseased

I can’t go back in reality
Only in the imaginations
A dance of forgotten memories
distracting all that truly is

When I find acceptance
When my mind allows peace
When my body finds relaxation

Perhaps old festering wounds
May be seen as they are now
Witnessed and cared for
Allowed to finally form a scar

When can I heal
