What you lost
is your biggest treasure.
How that hurts
is a gift you can’t refuse.
When you don’t look away
but humbly accept,
along with the cost,
one breath to the next.
Cast the burden
into the wings you fly with.
You better think
when they tell you it’s worthless.
Give a prayer
to the spirits you now know.
Can you comprehend it
the quietness in your soul?
