A Gentler Me

For a while,

I looked to the

outer world for

something that would

offer an answer

or mend the whole

in my heart.

But this journey

had a way of

softening the healer

in me,

little by little —

until the purity

of her love

could no longer be

denied —

until there were

no more holes

in my heart

to be filled.

And life began

to reflect a truer,

gentler me.

  1. I love the true, gentle you! I can’t imagine you even softer! You’re beautiful Laurie and I’ve missed you! I’ve been reading but not able to write a comment to show you that I was here. But I am here xo
