To Soar Again! Poem by Sarah HudsonPierce

To Soar Again!

Oh, the intensity
Of long remembered
Pain,
The undying quality
Of hurting,
Not feeling loved,
Appreciated,
Cherished,
Cared for!
This is the price
I pay for being
Human,
Vulnerable!

Then I turn again
To a trusted friend
And pour out
All that's troubling me
As we each, in turn,
Lift a burden
From the other's heart,
Joy is restored
And I soar again
In calm,
Serene delight!
