Time Is Only Borrowed

Time Is Only Borrowed

Healing seems a distant notion;
some fabricated concept of
Satan's laughing
attempt to make us
cry with deeper sorrows.

Eerily, as time trudges by,
the hands of these strangers
take mine into theirs-so warm and gentle-
and for a time, my face is not wet with tears.

Alone no longer, I am among
friends, whose tear-stained
faces are also focusing on
the sun-filled sky, and not
the darkness we find behind our hands.

Learning to let go of childhood
anguish has become our target.
We shall cherish the bonds
between us, each knowing the
deepest and darkest secrets of the others.

Insight will reveal itself to us in time
For we will understand that time itself is
only borrowed from God, and His
intent is for us to share it with one another.

Never giving up the battle, we
shall conquer our fears and
live out our dreams.

Grown-up emotionally, our relationships
will flourish. Then, we will
fully realize that healing
has taken place.
