one year

one year,

sadness still.

that, too,

is good.

time passed,

laughing girl.

that, too,

is yours.

tears rise

as blood falls.

that, too,

does hurt.

grey skies,

hide sunrise.

that, too,

can heal.

deep vows,

embrace truth.

that, too,

is proof.

love lives,

death is dead.

that, too,

brings peace.
