Fog

White blur
Focus
Struggle to make sense of
The How and Why
Fight to see
One strong figure
Outlined in the haze
One open palm
Reaching toward you
One calm voice
Guiding your steps
Squint and try and
Search for the answer
And if you find nothing
In the dense fog
Turn your eyes inside
And call to yourself
For the Truth that
Has always resided
In your soul

Sit

Hold my hand
Let me cry
And do not
Wipe away my
Falling tears

Let the soothing
Be in the sharing
Heart to heart
Pain met fully
And felt fully

This is relationship
Not an erasing
Of the soul-searing hurt
But a walking through
Together
