Months gone
seasons pass
autumn light
spring preparing
shaman’s blade
bile extracted
nerves spared
laser piercing
cells removed
father freeing
past and future
wisdom singing
chorus softly
darkness healing
life rewoven
new beginning.

I’d say there is lots gong on in my friend’s life!(smile)
Yes!!!!!!!
Love to hear this one recited. Are you familiar with Ethridge Knight’s work? He was/is an inmate at Folsom prison….
YES! Lean and mean. I like it. I’ve lived it. We all have…
Gratitude, Bro!
it is a miracle to be given all the chances to succeed over and over again. One day, this too will end. But for now we bow in grace and beauty for the being granted another turn with the master weaver. can’t wait to walk by your side some day soon.
‘Rewoven’ is a wonderful visual for this new path before you (and me)!
So many gifts, so many miracles. One big gift to me is that you’ll be around longer. That’s huge for me.
Love your style and substance, Don; clean, succinct, direct. Less is more.
Don, The healing is a miracle . Sustain it with sprouts, melons, whey and determination. I’m sending many arrows of esp.
spinoff from L. Cohen tune maybe fits for a loving and grateful comment:
Oh, the blessings of mercy
They are not departed or gone
One was waiting for you
When You thought you might not go on
Now I give you this comment
And later I’ll sing you the song
I’m so glad you received one
You, who’s been traveling so long.
Thanks Don! Beautiful words used to clothe your experience. I stand with you in this adventure.
There’s so very much in this little poem, and so much tenderness for this journey we’re all on in this benevolent darkness. Thanks!
Rejoice in healing and rebirth in the dark, rising again and again to the Light and our shared gladness.
I had breast cancer surgery in winter, 10 years ago.
“darkness healing, life rewoven, new beginning.” expresses what I felt then, and the gratitude I feel now. Thank you for the universal beauty and the gritty truth of your poetry.
Continue the healing and we’ll see you in July.
back on line and – –
thankful that
through a dark night
the voice of a beautiful river
can still be heard
Thank you for this, and for your integrity and many gifts so freely given over the many years.
