time and distance

it takes time.
patience.
quiet and reflection.
you need to slow your heart,
still
your mind.
it takes time to get
to where
you need to go.
to shed the trouble of a
former life,
to get back home,
to become
you again, and whole.
slow down.
one foot then
the next.
revel in the quiet,
the solace
and peace, time
and distance
will
take care of the rest.
