I feel the peace

Like the first breath of life

The forgiveness of love

I can't seem to give you enough

To calm the harming hand that struck

So many times

Nature replenishes

So that we come

To draw from life

Remembrance

Those days

Making them ours

How can I forget

The hurt I tried to heal

But failed

To mirror

The shattered life

You wanted me to see in you

When only I saw

The green willow groves of spring

And time's warm hand in summer

Blink an existence

I thought I had lived.
