If I say to you

.thumbprintpoetry.

Life how fragile,

I would have to also say to you,

 Life how resilient.

 Plans for both are inevitable,

the unexpected to bring,

when you find broken,

A hole left behind,

An anchor in time,

Loss measured against how much you treasure.

Time taking to recover,

wellness some never come.

constant pinging all that future lost,

 the life that burns medium bright.

Rebuilding through sadness and strife.

Time only heals as a perspective,

 the scars will always be reflective.

Engrain story with each candle I light.

knowing it will never be the same.

Better after worse,

Holding fast to the notion,

Stronger and deeper

resilience the new skill

Compassion.

for comfort and care,

 noises the voices until silence is clear.

supposed to be,

 the way purpose being built,

foundation and the strength,

and even the hurt.

The story inspires and moves me to reach,

To the creator that creates

The receiving changed to the giving.

Turbulence when the change comes

Transition lead intention,

Treasure buried in story

 Life led and then a hole we leave.

Revealed as it is supposed to be.
