Stages

The process of becoming … and the experiences that’ve shaped me along the way.

Stages of Loss

It came to me in stages
the extent of what I lost
The mind’s method of protection
from realizing the full cost
of losing a bond whose tendrils filled
the cracks within my heart
And once uprooted
would unleash
the tears, the search, the art

To heal the holes
to mend in gold
making the seams
shine
It’s where the light gets in
the brokenness inside
