Therapy Bits

After the storm, a soft light appears,
Breathing calm into the spaces fear once filled.
Cradled by time, the heart begins to
Discern what pain to release and what wisdom to keep.
Every small step forward becomes a triumph,
Flowing gently toward renewed strength.
Grace gathers in unexpected moments,
Holding the hurt without letting it define you.
Inward, a quiet courage unfurls,
Just enough hope to guide the way.
Kindness—toward self most of all—
Leads the spirit into softer days.
Mending is not a straight line,
Nor a hurried journey.
Open hearts learn to trust again,
Piece by piece stitching their glow.
Questions fade into acceptance,
Rest returning like an old friend.
Stillness strengthens the weary mind,
Teaching it to listen deeply.
Under the weight of release,
Vulnerable parts find room to breathe.
Wounds once sharp begin to soften,
Xylographic marks of the past losing their edge.
Yearning shifts into quiet peace,
Zeal for life warming the world within.
