You'd never imagined
anything worse than the pain
you knew
until you hit
the empty space
where nothing lives,
the endless barren roads.
You wish for rain
and grasp for words
just out of reach
caught back in time
when only dawn
could break the spell
with pale blue
light across the room.
So this is change
and space
and from this calm
we find our way
less words
more roots
and no less real
