Recharged
They asked me to paint two stones
I chose them for their form
one for a glorious future
the other for the past, a raging storm
within me
the heart-like stone
I painted red and broken
and threw symbolically into the sea
the other I keep as a token
close to me
tentatively I step out of the clouds
my body and soul rejuvenated
a seed ready to bloom
all tears dried and abated
leaving me
though I couldn’t pick a winner
in a one horse race
I feel so blessed for the new
it is written in the smile on my face
loving me
