a year of seasons

it takes a year of seasons
to
move on, to go forward.
a year of new
memories, new images and words.
new music.
it takes a river of time
to cross under
the bridge, the sky needs to
fill with clouds
and rain, rain hard,
before it clears.
it takes a year of seasons
to get well
again.
to shake your limbs,
your coat,
your shoes of where you've
been.
