Restoring

-*-

One step at a time,

planning every move;

carefully mending

and no intent to reprove.

-*-

There is so much pain

because of the gash,

but that will not change

if I try to rehash.

-*-

Crying? Not allowed,

Complains? better not;

only allowed to indurate,

but my soul is quite rough.

-*-

After all of this ends

and I can see myself,

I'll know if the pieces

again make some sense.

-*-

In the worst scenario

where I am a new me,

well, I may have changed,

but I will be completed.

Started writing short stories back in 1988 at work, when I had an empty page to fill for the employee's internal magazine. Taking the pen again after a 30 year-long hiatus, exploring where it takes me this time.
