Healing

I have insulated myself quite well 

No dull ache, throbbing any more

The scab not yet fully dry, pulsates

Memories ,uninvited, gate crash in

Your face, distant, hazy with time. 

Open gallery, browse , see your pic

Trace a finger over the broad nose

Proud glint in your beautiful eyes

We both loved the same person,you.

Your narcissistic love, selfie smiles 

Kept you blinkered, self absorbed

Ensconced in warm arms of ego

Moved on,flitting like an astir moth! 

I find solace in the golden sun rays 

The wind caresses, salving wounds 

Tiny ripples ,placate my aching feet

Gay, warbling birds appease my soul!

Comfort, being at peace, acceptance 

Eke a living, seeking joyful moments 

Count blessings, tidings of gratitude.

Watch stray thoughts drift in and out! 

No longer in depths of dark despair

Rhetoric questions asked no more

Neither expectations nor let downs 

With time gaping wounds too heal!
