Time

A resilient thespian
Traipsing across the stage,
Grace fluxing down this mien.
A maven, he was, he bowed to no one.

I

A wandering drifter
Tumbling over the rocks, forever on a run,
Tugging on the torn strings
A carbuncle, I was, I couldn't see the sun.

Closer, he came
'I am a healer'
He said.
Qualms prevailed my mind,
Could someone ever heal darkness away?

He asked for my hand
I gave.
We traversed across sceneries
Splendor, the landscape.
Brightness as such blinded my sight,
Flames prodding around my sore scars,
The road to be my plight.
'Why must you do this?'
Drooped my eyelids

'Open your eyes'

A smile, and I was taken to a land of
Misery and demise
Hunger found it's voice
Through the wails of the trembling beings,
Thriving, never to be paralyzed
Agony oh so abysmal,
Nothing O nothing could rival
The might
When the curtain fell away
I couldn't help but realize
'My life is not bad, not once even compared to that'

Titters, only titters
I glanced towards him
Never a rejoinder, explicit
Gratitude was left nonetheless
For, he did heal me
Before I could utter
Time was on his way.
He never stayed.

"Healing doesn't mean that the damage never existed. It means that the damage no longer controls our lives."
