Of time and wounds

Author(s)

The calendar is not the only indicationOf time passed since you've gone;Dogwoods, cherry trees and azaleasHave budded, bloomed and gone green;Weeds now lurk cheekilyBefore your garage door.

Even I am changing.Ripped apart,I am putting myself back together,But the jagged edgesOf this woundFit differently as the healing begins.

I'll never be who I was.You were so much a part of that.You'll always be part of my life,But time inevitably changes the proportionsAs new chapters are added. The present always has priority.
