Finished Lines

A line crossed. A race run. Wounds, pain, fears remain.

 

Rush not into fear

Or hide in shadows of dread 

Do not thrash and wring hands in anger

Do not lash.

Do not challenge.

Do not fight.

Do not judge.

Do not allow the bile to rise up and choke you.

Cry.

Rant.

Wail.

Keen.

Scream to the heavens you want to know why.

But know

that knowing why

will not take the pain,

Prevent the loss,

Bring back the moment

Before the moment

That exploded your heart.
