The Invisible Becoming Visible

At first glace, what is your friend enduring?
A deeper inquiry reveals a petal,
a life force,
hanging on by a thread.
Is it still there? Whatever “it” is comprised of.

Pausing to witness tiny stitches, invisible lines become visible.
Prized possessions deteriorate,
finding beauty in decay.
An inordinate amount of hidden strength required to mend.

Progression requires space,
reveals liberation.

Time to heal
and flourish once again.
