Sometimes the End is sudden    
And you are left without closure,     
heartbroken and unprepared    
for such a sharp change 

For a while, you live with a mind   
That is half here and half full of regret,    
Wondering, "What if?"

For a while, your heart only feels grief    
And your mind only see's gray

And then life starts to call you back   
In to it's arena of possibility     
It reminds you that all is not lost   
And that even though a chapter ended,   
there is still a long story to be told

With time and intention   
Wounds lose their heaviness   
healing fills the tough parts of your being,   
and you awaken the light of love within yourself 

In time, you will return fully in to the precious now   
with a heart that feels refreshed and ready to move forward
