Grief

a poem

The current carries her to an oasis that she hadn’t seen since childhood.

Cautiously the hands of time turn back to understand her abandonment.

Uncertain of the hope she has, all there is to do is endure.

Armed with the memories of her deceased brother, she recognizes this as her only chance at redemption.

She now has the opportunity to finally attain what she’s always coveted.

Would she allow forgiveness to guide her path towards peace?
