A New Beginning

LEARNING TO BREATHE

January 1, 2023

The first day in the first year in over 50 years, that I haven’t spent with Bob. The day I had chosen to see joy rather than sadness.

LEARNING TO BREATHE

It started with a gift.

The very best kind.

Fleeting, lasting only long enough

To catch my breath

And stop my heart

I turned, ready to shout

Come, Come look at this

And, then realized there would be no answer

For I awoke alone

As I do these days

The sunrise, a rich splash of colors

Painted by an artist

With the fragile brilliance of knowing

How to speak feelings

With a flick of a brush

This is new

The non sharing

I rolled the beauty through my heart

Let it course in waves

Until I could breathe thank you
