Echo

By J Ann Crowder

My pain is strong yet my heart transcends it
You hurt me!
For too long a road I traveled in a darkened pit!
I blamed me for too long as a song of sadness I let live on, bringing an ache to my heart
It killed the pretty parts of me, if but for a time
Until I killed your echo & sent it’s sickness back to you
Your echo is no longer mine to hold!
For it took my breath, if but for a time, a season I didn’t know my own magic, & I couldn’t see my own song to carry her up into the clouds beyond
To this I smile, I sing, & I write an ode of joyous discovery as I touch these sweetest moments of awakening & wonder
I capture them like stars in jars!
I hold them sacredly to my heart!
They are the truths I so longed for, if but for a time of sadness now turned to joy
