Walked away
hoping to forget.
Crossed over
many a bridge
to move on
with my life,
only to have it
re-visit my heart
when it
reaches
out to another.
The compassion
that reaches
across the divide
to offer hope,
re-connects to
what can no longer
be left behind.....
a very old friend
also in need of understanding.
I wonder how many people realize this. That one has to cut into one's own experiences (some quite painful) to help another. Love the ending......'a very old friend also in need of understanding.' It is so crucial for us to forgive and be kind to ourselves as well as others. Nicely said.

A beautiful ending that opens in truth.....John..
