Let the pain age
Let it wrinkle
Shrivel
Shrink
Let it’s darkness transform
Let it trigger
Let it heal
Even if but a morsel
Let forgiveness be the sun
Be chocolate.
Let it melt
Stir it
Let it drip
Let it spill
Let it spread
Even if once bitter
Be rich
Be sweet
Be smooth
Be poured
On a page
As a faint memory of the past
Thought of with gratitude.

To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for His own glory. – Isaiah 61:3 (NLT)
