A dark fear grips. Masks of
pain and suffering hidden
from view distanced.
Thin cloth, veils, separates.
Barely visible, breath
becomes lost confidence
in setting out emerging
unfolding unraveling
the tangle of tied up lock
downs within ourselves to
undo the stepping back
withdrawing of past hurts.
Time to heal, forgive,
allow the letting go, unfurl
in a tentative stretch
out toward the other.
To learn again a gentle touch.
