the memory

a veritable recluse

a rush tide to envy

excuse after wretched excuse

numbness and disbelief

the spoiled remains of divorce

living the nightmare in the dream

waking a changed being

soulful yet

forever remorseful

in some subtle way

over a time that once was

but gladly can never be again

for with maturity

acceptance of the fact accompanies

for neither involved was it failure

not truly

(a conclusion that each can only

arrive at privately when alone)

just experience

long hard earned

and more so quite thankfully

over

kaput

and done with

where as now I live

a woman restored

all to her own

grateful in hindsight

for having realized I learned so much

rather than just wallowed in my former

beliefs of self failure

that was God's plan

throughout my entire journey

my soul assures me of that now

so in essence

the necessity exceded the pain

always.........
